Ensatina eschscholtzii platensis, or Sierra Nevada Ensatina

Found this little guy while raking leaves in my yard today. I was more than happy to take a few pictures before relocating him into a more hospitable area of my yard for salamanders.
I think the most fascinating thing about them is that they do not have lungs. They breathe thru their skin, and so extra care has to be taken when handling them so as you don't asphyxiate them. Oh ya, and they also produce a milky toxic substance from their tales when agitated.
