Shenandoah Salamander vs. White-spotted Slimy Salamander
A young White-spotted Slimy is small and black with white spots, like a plain Shenandoah; both live on the Shenandoah National Park peaks. A: Dark, with a narrow red stripe or none, and few or no white spots on top in the Shenandoah Salamander; glossy black, scattered all over with white spots in the White-spotted Slimy Salamander. B: Small white spots low on the sides in the Shenandoah Salamander; big, crowded white spots low on the sides in the White-spotted Slimy Salamander. Adult slimies are much bigger and stouter, and leave glue on the hands.
