DISTRIBUTION: In our region, Ambystoma m. mavortium occurs throughout much of western 2/3 of Texas and the eastern 2/3 of New Mexico. This and other forms of Tiger Salamanders have been sold extensively throughout the western states as fish bait resulting in numerous introduced populations outside of their natural range in the Southwestern U.S.
