Notes
All three Gabillan Slender Salamanders were found under a pile of damp, rotting wood paneling along with an immature Arboreal Salamander (HERP Record# 61325). Identification is based on the salamanders distribution well within the known range of G. gavilanensis and removed from any congeneric species. One of these was by far the largest slender salamander I have ever seen.
