Northern Zigzag Salamander - Lead phase

Description:

We get lots of Zigzags in our pool during the fall. I have noticed a pattern. We primarily see very young ones through August and September. Then there is about a month where there is no trace of them. We start seeing much larger salamanders again in mid to late October. I believe they live in a rock wall and mulch bed next to our pool. Unfortunately, I've not been successful keeping them out of the pool, which has chlorine in it.
