I'm doing Science Olympiad amphibians and reptiles and I've been having trouble 
distinguishing between some of the plethodont genera, especially aneides, 
batrachoseps, desmognathus, eurycea, plethodon and pseudotriton. I'd just like 
to know some characteristics I could use to identify specimens. Thanks!
