Reptile & Amphibian Forums

ive recently found two lined salamanders in a park near my house that never had these guys there before, ive been catching gartersnakes,watersnakes, dekay snakes, and northern redbacked salamanders by the dozens in this park for over about 15 years since i was a kid butnever came across one of these guys .
any possibilities of why these are civilizing in this area ?
i figured if anything i would stop seeing salamanders in these parts becuase of kids catching them and pollution(theres trash everywere in these parks)
and how do they lay there eggs?
are they terrestrial or aquatic?
what are the sprey items? i assume the same as the northern redbacks plus more aquatic sources since there more commonly found near water

As long as the water quality isn't too degraded or too warm they seem to do well in urban enviroments.
