Spring Salamander vs. Cave Salamander
Both are orange salamanders of springs, seeps and cave mouths. A Spring Salamander is large and stout, salmon to orange-brown, clouded with darker mottling rather than crisp spots, with a pale line from the eye to the nostril. A Cave Salamander is slender, bright orange with crisp round black spots, has no eye-to-nostril line, and grips with a long tail.
