Looks like a Ambystoma laterale also known as a Blue-spotted salamander to me. That is the closest I can get to identifying it.

They are given their name for the bluish-white spots and flecks on the tides of the trunk and tail and also sometimes on the back.

They also have granular glands that are mostly concentrated on their tail. These glands produce a milky noxious liquid that is secreted when it is threatened.

The adult eats worms, snails, slugs, insects, centipedes, spiders and other invertebrates.
