Patch-nosed Salamander vs. Blue Ridge Two-lined Salamander
Blue Ridge Two-lined Salamanders share the Patch-nosed Salamander's foothill streams in Stephens County. A: Tiny: about an inch from snout to vent, under 2 in in all in the Patch-nosed Salamander; bigger: up to about 4 in, slender in the Blue Ridge Two-lined Salamander. B: Two dark stripes on the back (males); a short tail in the Patch-nosed Salamander; a black line along each side that breaks into dots about halfway down the long tail in the Blue Ridge Two-lined Salamander. Look at the snout: only the Patch-nosed has a pale patch on its tip. Patch-nosed females and young are duller than the yellow males.
