New salamander. Need info

[marks1018]

Saturday my dad was helping do some landscaping. He brought me front end loader full of dirt. While unloading it we found this girl (I think its a girl). I can't believe it survived. Other than an injured toe she seems fine. I wanted to confirm it was a Tiger and any more specifics you might know.

That's definitely a tiger. if you narrow down your location a bit, someone will probably be able to identify the sub-species.

Of course. Sorry. I intended on putting that info in the original post and I must have forgot. I live in the NW corner of Alabama

Nice tiger! Probably an eastern. You can read the care sheet here.
