Eastern Newt vs. Cave Salamander
The red eft is the land stage of the Eastern Newt. Look at the spots: an eft has a row of red spots each ringed with black, on dry, rough-looking skin. A Cave Salamander is wet and glossy, with scattered plain black spots and no red ones, and lives in caves and rocky ravines.
