Longtail salamander Longtail Salamander Eurycea longicauda LIFER!
I have been after one of these guys for a long time and I'm glad I finally got one. VERY cool salamander. He was in weird habitat though, under a log near the edge of a vernal pond. Everthing I've read says they live in creekbeds and caves. Anyway thanks for looking!

Re: Longtail salamander Thanks!
Re: Longtail salamander Very nice! I'm really more of a salamander enthusiast than a frog fanatic. We have a large population of Eurycea longicauda melanopleura where I live. Very neat salamanders!
Re: Longtail salamander Thanks, I'm pretty sure this one is E. l. longicauda. They don't seem to be common here.
Heres some other sals I've found.
Southern two Lined salamander Eurycea cirrigera
Northern Slimy Salamander Plethodon glutinosus
Eastern Redback Salamander (lead phase) Plethodon cinerus
Southern Redback Salamander (lead phase) Plethodon serratus

Re: Longtail salamander Awesome! I wish we had the some Southern Two-lined Salamanders (Eurycea cirrigera) here! Those are great looking sals! Do you ever find any Ambystoma species?
Re: Longtail salamander Thanks! The two lineds are common in the right areas. Never seen any adult Ambystoma (weird because Indiana has the most species), but I saw lots of eggs and larvae this spring.Originally Posted by tjtreefrog
Heres what I think is a maculatum larva that I'm raising.
And some eggs from earlier this year

Re: Longtail salamander Cool finds Zach! Maybe we could go herping next spring.
Hello- from your smiling cousin
Re: Longtail salamander I have an adult A. Maculatum - my state has an abundant population of salamanders, I've been searching for 'em for years, and I've only found one unidentified adult - and a few unkown larvae.
