Hi, I'm Nick. I built Herp Calendar on my own and I keep it free, with no ads. If it has helped you find a herp this season, a small tip goes straight into the hosting and the data work. Only if you can spare it. Either way, I'm glad you're here.

Southern Two-lined Salamander
Eurycea cirrigera
Description
The southern two-lined salamander (Eurycea cirrigera) is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae, endemic to the United States. The salamander is deep-light brown and fairly small, growing up to 6.5–12 cm in length.Wikipedia ↗
Habitat
The southern two-lined salamander is found in the Southeast United States except for peninsular Florida. Adults use small, rocky streams or seeps in forested areas, but can also be found in and around springs.Wikipedia ↗
When it's active
Females will lay single-layer clusters of 20–100 eggs and deposit them under flat rocks that are located in shallow following streams during mid-March to April. Males premaxillary teeth enlarge during breeding season, and when court shipping, he scrapes the female's head, and this will help with the secretions of the mental gland.Wikipedia ↗
