Slimy Salamander Plethodon glutinosus

Named for an impressive amount of sticky "slime" exuded by glands in the skin when roughly handled, this "species" has been split recently into two or three different species. I'm not entirely sure into which taxon the individuals below fall, so they're treated conservatively here as P. glutinosus complex.
