I have created a new mission called "Cave Life of TN & Nearby States" for any life found in a cave of Tennessee or surrounding areas. If any of your spottings qualify, consider adding them to this mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1168206004

A red salamander would be much more heavily-bodied. Your salamander has a black tail because it is in the process of regenerating it.
