This salamander's taxonomy includes: Domain: Eukarya, Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Chordata, Class: Amphibia, Order: Caudata, Family: Plethodontidae, Genus: Batrachoseps, Species: Attenuatus. This salamander lives in moist areas like under logs, rocks, bark, leaf litter, stumps, debris. It is also found in areas such as chaparral, woodland, grassland, forests, urban yards, vacant lots, and driftwood. This salamander eats invertebrates.This salamander ranges from 7-14 cm in total length. It has 4 short limbs, a long body, and a very long tail.
