>>Speak of the devil! He was out just after I posted the last message here. I snapped a quick pic. He's by no means fully grown, but he looks pretty healthy for being trapped in a window well for over a month.

That is a nice looking barred tiger salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum mavortium. These animals have to come out at night most of the time because they cannot tolerate the hot temperatures and direct sun of daylight hours. During the dry season, they are usually deep underground, usually inside rodent burrows, and they can and must go for months without feeding.
