Peaks of Otter Salamander vs. White-spotted Slimy Salamander
Both are black woodland salamanders with pale spots, under the same logs on the Peaks of Otter ridges; the slimy grows much bigger and stouter. A: Fine brassy (gold) flecks and blotches, crowded in the Peaks of Otter Salamander; white or silvery spots, bigger and scattered in the White-spotted Slimy Salamander. B: Plain dark, no spots in the Peaks of Otter Salamander; crowded white spots, the biggest low on the sides in the White-spotted Slimy Salamander. Slimy salamanders leave a glue on the hands that is hard to rub off.
