Fairview Slender Salamander vs. Tehachapi Slender Salamander
Their ranges do not meet: the upper Kern River canyon (Fairview) vs the Tehachapi Mountains (Tehachapi). A: Small: body about 1.4 in in the Fairview Slender Salamander; much bigger and heavier: body 2 to 2.4 in in the Tehachapi Slender Salamander. B: Black with silvery-brassy flecks in the Fairview Slender Salamander; brown with a patchy bronze back in the Tehachapi Slender Salamander. C: Flat black with fine metallic flecks (no open photo shows it) in the Fairview Slender Salamander; light grey to cream, paler than the back (no open photo shows it) in the Tehachapi Slender Salamander. RANGE IS THE SUREST WAY TO TELL THEM APART: where you are decides which one it is; the rows below help confirm it.
