Side note, I really like Eurycea lucifuga and someday, when the stars align and pigs can fly, I will get some. Your beautiful pictures of them just made this urge even stronger.
Hahaha, I'm sorry! But I must say, I'm usually the one looking at posts getting jealous. It's kinda nice to be on the other side of that for once! LOL

These are the first cave salamanders I've ever managed to find. It was a truly magical moment, and I'm glad I got to share the experience with my younger brother.

You want to keep E.lucifuga as a pet? Are they difficult to keep? I desperately wanted to collect one, but I didn't know their requirements, therefore I did what I felt was best and released them all right where we found them.

Thanks for your comment

We did find a few crayfish in the creek also.

:P I usually have little to no luck finding salamanders. I think I've finally got it figured out Until this hike I had never seen anything except western slimy salamanders in the wild.
