Not So Red-Backed Salamander

red backed salamander gray
At first I mistook this guy for a worm, all gray and twitching. He did use the characteristic salamander twitch however so I looked again. A quick search proves my standard red-backed salamanders come in a few colors. I did find this one first but a red colored one wasn't far away. They liked the rotting wood I had left out as a winter nest.
