Aussehen

The Atlantic Coast Slimy Salamander is a sleek, dark amphibian with a glossy black body adorned with numerous tiny, brassy or yellowish-gold flecks that give it a "slimy" or metallic look. These small spots are often concentrated on its back and sides, making it appear distinct from other forest salamanders.
