Nope. You did it right. There are quite a few choices, though and one must still manually insert photos into posts. The new system removes a couple of steps to post pictures -- plus the upload link is right there when you compose your message.

Ok trying again (sigh)

So like, can anyone identify the species of Sally in the (above) pics?

This page on the Biospeleology Web site has photos of the different species of cave salamandars. Scroll down nearly to the bottom of the page to Order Urodela.

Ralph,

Looks like Dicamptodon ensatus to me, but honestly, a bit of location information would be useful.

Oh my bad... umm Ramona Josefczyk of Tennessee took the pic and I would imagine it's either in the TAG area or West Virginian caving playground.

Thanks for the replies on the ID-ing...

While Ramona lives in TN, I suspect she took that shot elsewhere.

Keith's right...

I live in TN, but the photos were taken in a springhouse in Santa Cruz, CA.

And I do believe it's a Dicamptodon.
