Extremely Handsome And Very Blue Spotted, and also a bunch of other kinds. I love them all without exception.
Even the Hellbender, aka Snot Otter. I didn't make that up. I wish. It wasn't even the name of my band in high school, or my sex tape, both of which were Supposable Thumbs.

I love salamanders. I have the western long-toed tattooed on my leg. I used to catch them on my grandparent's farm when I was a kid.

As the eldest grandchild it was my duty to pave the way for the others to get tattoos. Great memories and helping the others avoid wrath lol

I found a Pacific Giant once..I heard they bark, but the one I saw didn't bark.

Oregon coast, way upstream and off trail near Oswald West state park

I'm on the west coast but a bit further north. I will dare to dream (and probably drive down sometime to look for them).

I think their range is up to the southern tip if B.C.

Oooooh! I might not have to go far at all. Although I've lived here 5 years and only just saw my 1st frog last summer so I'm not
