Description
The Valdina Farms Salamander grows from 2 to 3 inches in length, with short legs, reduced eyes under a layer of skin, and external gills. They are grey or cream colored, and translucent, sometimes with pale yellow striping or white speckling. Few specimens are known, so the variability of their color and pattern is unknown.
