We surprised each other in the garden today. Best guess is Notopthalmus viridescens, but the species has a lot of variation within the population apparently.

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a newt or salamander in the wild before lol only lizards and geckos. So cute!

We're lucky in that we have two ponds and many seasonal vernal pools in our wooded property, so we get to see a lot of really cool amphibians
