Long story short...there are two color phase...the lead phase that you see here...and the zigzag phase that has a zigzag pattern extending down the back. http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2529527490101098752cIqCjy

Are they called Zig Zag Salamanders because of their stance? I like how he appears to be covered in sparkles.
