Ambystoma Larva Identification

Post by NAPinv »

Hello All,

I have attached a few links below to salamander larva observations. The preservation group I work for has monitored this pool for just over a decade so I know these individuals are ambystomids. Is anyone willing to confirm these species ids for me? You can click on the photos to enlarge them. Also, feel free to let me know if I have not photographed the proper characters. Thank you!

I believe this one is a spotted salamander (A. maculatum):

I believe these two are blue-spotted salamanders (A. laterale):
