In our 8 years of living here, I have only seen #SlenderSalamander 3 times, and 1st time out on the patio. #GenusBatrochoseps, a lungless #Salamander. They like to hang out in the leaves which we keep moist. We also get #WesternFenceLizards and #AllligatorLizards 🦎

In the depths of winter, I found within me, an invincible ‘mander. I think that’s the quote.

Dec 2024. Gabilan Mtns Slender Salamander. Or Santa Lucia Mtns Slender Salamander. I can’t tell these two species apart. Pacificuuuuus! #batrachoseps #herps #slendersalamander #salamanders #tinywonders
