South Carolina Slimy Salamander vs. Mabee's Salamander

Both are dark salamanders with pale marks on the sides, under logs round the same coastal ponds and swamps. A: An ordinary head on a long, slim body in the South Carolina Slimy Salamander; a small head with a rounded snout, on a short, stout body in the Mabee's Salamander. B: Separate white spots and blotches in the South Carolina Slimy Salamander; silvery-white flecks massed into a mottled band low on the sides in the Mabee's Salamander. Slimy salamanders leave glue on the hands; Mabee's Salamander has very long, slender toes.
