Ha we had to make a photo collection for my herpetology class and I included this guy in it, definitely miss-id it, all my friends thought it was a small-mouthed also, even better that it's a mole salamander because I can't recall ever seeing one before

Not a county record then, but still a neat find. I'm still looking to photograph a metamorphic adult from Arkansas for my photo library. A friend and I dip-netted a couple of ponds near Arkadelphia last spring, but came up empty. This species pretty much needs breeding ponds that are fish free.

I found this at a pond at my family's farm in Dallas county off highway 9 by lono

That head looks quite large! I'd be interested to know more about the locality and such where found. It could represent a new county record. http://herpsofarkansas.com/Herp/Atlas
