It looks like Ambystoma mavortium to me, and a pretty one at that.

Yes, I mean A.m.m. "A.m.m" is the abbreviation for Ambystoma mavortium mavortium, as opposed to other subspecies of mavortium, i.e. Ambystoma mavortium melanosticum.

It is impossible to say for certain without knowing where the animal originates from. However, mavortium is probably a safe guess.

I understand that, it is always hard with animals that have so spread life area, but maybe then i have a mavortium hehe.
