Nice photos!
Here's one that has been identified as the Southern Red-backed
Salamander, can't remember what gives it that distinction,
or what the sub species name is right now.

Hey Walter,
Thanks for the compliment! It's good to see your posts again!
The Southern Red-backed Salamander is P. serratus. The main
characteristics that differentiate the Southern Red-backed
from P. cinereus are:
1) The middorsal stripe of the S. Red-backed Sal. extends
to near the very tip of it's tail.
2) The middorsal stripe of S. Red-backed Sal. often has
serrated edges.
3) Geographic location.
Excellent photo!
