Description

March 20th, 2022 5:00PM

High of 74 degrees Fahrenheit

Low of 37 degrees Fahrenheit

73 degrees Fahrenheit at capture

After a week of temperatures in the 70's, and after a cool day of rain, this and numerous other salamanders were observed under rocks adjacent to open dolomite glades. Surprisingly few snakes were found, with all but one being common fossorials. This salamander frantically tried to escape at capture but quickly calmed down after being handled. After pictures it was released in moist leaf litter near the rock under which it was found.
