    I'm curious: How do you tell the males apart from the females in this species?

    Thanks,

    Theres polymorphism between the sexes, females are usually bigger and fatter and males usually
    have a bulge near their cloaca (their butt) and are one to two inches smaller, the breeding season
    for these guys just ended, this female was gravid so i had to et her back to her breeding pond.

    Hmm... well, I must have a female and a male long toed salamander. Urtham is larger and has always been fatter, whilst Gargan is smaller and much skinnier, despite the fact he eats a small earthworm or two on a daily basis.
