of all the TN critters I miss, salamanders get me the most...
Very nice photo.
Thanks Reiko. It is always a treat to find these. Unlike many of our salamanders, these are fall breeders and the females will guard the eggs.
I love the picture.
Thanks! This species shows sexual dimorphism in that the banding on the males is often white.
Astounding.
awesome !!
