Leuistic mutation

My house

Might be leucistic?

My house

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.

Interesting color variation.

Number of Individuals Seen: 1

Weather Conditions: Sunny

Habitat Type: Forest

Behavior Observed: Under cover (log)

Description: Adult. Leucistic phased.

Additional Comments:

Albino plethodon species, possibly Western Red-backed (Plethodon vehiculum) a common species in this area.

~50mm SVL
~45mm Tail Length
16 Costal Grooves (from what I can tell)

w/ color mutation - very rare

Additional Comments:

3 under one small chunk of wood

Very light erythristic bordering on leucistic

Odd coloration for a red-backed, maybe young colors or a mutation?

Found "little pale man" again. Ive seen him about four times since first finding him, and he is still growing and remaining in the same little area, but commonly occupies different logs.

Leucistic? The pigment in the ocular orbitals is making me hesitate on saying albino

Unusual colour morph.

Unstriped ("lead-backed") morph?

Juvenile Aneides flavipunctatus with no dark pigments, found with UC Berkeley Herpetology course.

Aberrant Arboreal.

Found inside a dead tree, has a cool colour morph which looked almost translucent in person, very unnatural looking. So cool!

Was an albino variety i believe

Seal is my guess but I’m not positive because of the bright yellow

Piedbald spotted salamander - H (Hermione)

Genetic mutation albino or leucistic

curiously pale

Leucistic

Leucistic Northern Slimy Salamander

Very rare mutation individual, adult-sized, albino? I was shocked when I see this one. What a lucky day.

This is the second day in a row that I’ve come across a pretty unique looking Red-back with a “whitish” colored stripe. (The one yesterday had an even bigger/longer whitish stripe.)

Melanistic, formerly ssp. Gordoni
