I went out last night during a thunderstorm and managed to catch 9 spotted salamanders. After photographing them and measuring their length, I let them go. Tempting to keep on as a pet, but since they spend almost their entire lives underground, there wouldn't be much to see.
The biggest one was 8.25" long, which is well above average.
Here are a few photos:

All 9 of them.

The biggest one.

The prettiest one.
