Caudata Culture Species Entry - Plethodon glutinosus complex The slimy salamander complex is a group of large eastern woodland salamanders, with adults commonly reaching lengths of up to 6.75 inches (17 cm). Depending on the author, there may be as few as three species (Petranka, 1998) or as many as thirteen different species (Conant and Collins, 1991). However, the species are generally indistinguishable in the field. The only way to tell the species apart (except for chromosomal analysis) is to know the locality origin of each salamander. For the purpose of this article, the different species can all be treated as the same species.
