The Yellow-Peppered Salamander (Ambystoma flavipiperatum) also known as Salamandra de Champala and the Yellow-Headed Salamander, is a species of mole salamander native to areas at an elevation of 4900 ft around Santa Cruz, Rancho Malveste and Tapalpa in Jalisco, Mexico. It is a large yellow salamander with large dark spots running down its dorsal surface – thus the "Yellow-peppered" designation. This is also the meaning of its species name in Latin. It has almond eyes and a wide body. It was described as most similar to the Blunt-Headed Salamander, Ambystoma amblycephalum.
