Found in the backyard by my pup.
Sided with T. sirtalis over T. proximus due to the very faint parietal spot, and the lateral line involving scale rows 2 and 3.

Never seen one with this color in the wild before. A morph? Does it have a name?

Scared me to death. Where do you even get a tapir archery decoy in America? Spend 30 seconds studying through binoculars before I figured it out. Not my brightest moment.

Upper individual has some kind of lesion on its head.
Younger (very small) but no yellow tails, so not that young

I believe the all orange one is an erythristic individual? One of two found in the same location. Other is in a separate observation.

I was told by the person I was with that they believed this was an erythristic individual.

This is a very interesting creature. It is a leucistic redback salamander (not quite albino). It is the first record of such an individual for New Brunswick, Canada.

this erythristic morph is found in certain areas of Ne Ohio, which I believe is the best place to find this color form

This is an erythristic redback.
As far I know Odell park in Fredericton, NB, Canada is the only place where you can find all three forms in the same population:
Stripped (common form)
Lead-phase
Erythristic (red-phase)
In fact I have even found perfect hybrid individuals of the lead and red phase.
If you have seen all three forms in one population I would be very to know about it.

UV florescent green under the tail when viewed with 365nm blacklight. Only 1 of the 4 eastern red-backed salamanders observed that night showed this.

My lifer! Thank you to Dylan Horvath and all the Nature Preserve volunteers that work to make the crossing as safe as possible for the salamanders and educational for so many people!

First known wild observations and discovery of natural fluorescent in an old world mammal or any mammal outside of North and Central America, images of the Springhare taken in August 2019. Incredible to see it’s orange and pink glow firsthand, especially when it wasn’t expected! Accidental discovery whilst out photographing scorpions under UV light
Shot using a Nikon D850 Handheld with a Nitecore Chameleon C6 ( 365nm ) torch.
For anyone interested in February 2020 a Scientific journal was released by a American research group ( no relation to me ) about this UV trait and science behind it from research in museum & zoo specimens in the US.
There are a few more images, but you might be able to imagine photographing a rather skittish nocturnal creature on foot with a UV torch in one hand and a large DSLR in the other during a unexpected encounter whilst also trying to expose a camera correctly for UV light isn’t the easiest thing to do the split second.
