Question: Are Taricha Granulosa Legal In Wa?

[sde]

Hi all,

I am wondering if you can keep T. Granulosa in Washington?
I have seen other posts that say you can keep T. granulosa granulosa, but it did not state that you could or could not keep T. granulosa. Maybe I mist something but I am confused about it.

Does anyone know if you can keep T. Granulosa in Washington?
