Gulf Coast Mud Salamander vs. Red Salamander

Red Salamanders live in the same seeps and baygalls of Washington and St. Tammany parishes (a record within 10 km of 7 of 8 Louisiana Gulf Coast Mud records). A: A dark brown eye in the Gulf Coast Mud Salamander; a yellow or golden eye in the Red Salamander. B: Few round black spots, well apart in the Gulf Coast Mud Salamander; many black spots, crowded and often running together in the Red Salamander. Old animals of both darken; the eye is the safest mark.
