Took a trip to NE AL & NW GA over Presidents Day weekend and found a few sal species.

First find -- a lovely northern slimy sal.





A larger slimy. We found several on this trip.



Lead-back phase of the southern redback sal.



The Pigeon Mountain salamander, Plethodon petraeus, the highlight of our trip!





Tiny two-lined sal.



Northern spring salamander larva, about 5” long.







Southern redback sal with a somewhat unusual coloration.



Northern dusky larva in cave pool.



Adult found under leaf-litter next to a seep.



We ended the trip with a very large cave sal we found eyeing us from a crevice. We were able to coax it out for pics.



Thanks for looking!
