Eastern Red-backed Salamander [Plethodon cinereus] 2

Please remember while out herping in Pennsylvania you need to have a current fishing license and please please remember to follow decontamination procedures as not to spread germs,diseases and unwanted fungus to these important areas!If you not willing do follow these procedures,you should not be out!I personally always wear protective gloves [Nitrile],even if I don't handle salamanders and I do try to never touch them.I also spray myself [boots,waders,gloves,net,photographic tank...] with a chlorhexidine solution.
[Chlorhexidine, is a disinfectant and antiseptic that is used for skin disinfection]

Eastern Red Backed Salamander, iridistic form. [Plethodon cinereus]. Perry County, Pa. 10-21-23. This area seems to have a good population of the iridistic form, the only other one that I have seen was found in this same area, picture on left. They truly have a metallic beauty all their own.
