Ambystoma gracile gracile (Baird, 1859) Northwestern Salamander
Ambystoma gracile gracile are found along the northern Pacific Coast of California upward through British Columbia. This species is found in humid coniferous woods and forests. Like many mole salamanders, A. gracile spends time burrowed into damp soil, usually in burrows created by other animals.

Ambystoma gracile  is found from northern California, north to extreme southeastern Alaska. A. gracile gracile are found in California, northward into Canada. Ambystoma gracile decorticatum, the Brown Salamander, are found from mid-Canada to Alaska.
