Salamanders

Hi all I have been reading all the salamander threads on this site tonight trying to I'D it. Someone who replied to my For Sale add told me that it is either a Santa Cruz Black Salamander or an Alpine Black Salamander but I have a feeling its just a local morph. Does anyone know how I can tell if its a forced morph or infact a locale specific species. I have 2 females of the same type.

Where did you get those from? Salamanders are illegal.

I dunno about that, W.T.BUY. I'm pretty sure it's also illegal to force Axolotls to morph.

Morphed Axo's aren't true Salamanders, anyway.

They were probably just morphed Axo's then. Salamanders are definately illegal.
