It's about 2" long, it was bright orange all over, but now it's got brown on it's back, and it has those big liquid brown eyes. I don't see any spots or stripes, but it might be too little to tell yet. It looks like the one they show at the begining of this forum. I don't know if there is such a thing as a common salamander, but I think it would be one if there was.

Well it's either an Ensatina or Taricha just based on geography assuming you mean the Sierra foothills.

Well? I found it some of these tiny white bugs inside the bark of a rotten log. Looked like baby termites. He eye-balled those and zapped 'em with his tongue. And I put some small earth worms in with him. I don't know if he has eaten them or not. If I can't find him anything more to eat, I'll just have to let the little guy go. As soon as I learn how to post a picture, I'll do so.
