This salamander I'm not 100% certain, but based on what I have read on Cal Herps I believe this is what it is. Really I found very little info on how to separate Hell Hollow from California since those are the only two in this area that occur together. So the reasons I believe this is Hell Hollow is it does appear to have a more bulbous head making it appear to have a neck. The overall body to leg proportions shows the legs look a little larger, but that is hard to judge not having a California to compare with. The biggest thing was habitat. This was on the north slope of the North Fork American River in Auburn State Recreation Area. I found 2 individuals under large rocks at the base of a steep ravine slope along the trail. Habitat was live oak, chaparral, grey pine.
