Looks like a female to me. Males generally have longer tails and, during the breeding season, a swollen cloacal region. Very nice looking specimen. Color photographs of tiger salamanders in the Great Basin and Rocky Mountain areas were very scarce in the past, and it was kind of frustrating to look at Stebbins' field guide and try to guess what the salamanders may look like in life from the black and white drawings. Thanks for sharing.
