Northern Two-lined Salamander

Habitat: Under rocks, logs, and leaf litter adjacent to or in small rocky streams and seeps in mesic forest.

Reproduction: Egg-laying takes place in April and May; eggs are attached in small clusters to the underside of rocks, leaves, or other cover beneath flowing water in small streams and springs. Females attend the eggs for at least a potion of their incubation period. Hatching occurs after about a month, and the gilled larvae remain aquatic for two years or more.
