The Comal Blind Salamander or Honey Creek Cave Blind Salamander (Eurycea tridentifera) is a small species of aquatic, lungless salamander native to the United States. It is endemic to a small region at the junction of Comal, Bexar and Kendall counties in Texas. It is 1.5 to 3 inches long, with a slender body and external gills, and is an overall translucent pink color.
The Comal Blind Salamander is listed as a threatened species in the state of Texas. Due to its extremely limited geographic range, its primary threat is contamination of the water sources in the area.
