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.

Look, don't take. Many states regulate collecting reptiles and amphibians. Photograph it, log it on iNaturalist and leave it where you found it.

Description

The three-lined salamander (Eurycea guttolineata) is a species of salamander in the family Plethodontidae. Eurycea guttolineata is a mid-sized, slender stream salamander which ranges from about 10-15.9 cm in its adult form.Wikipedia ↗

Habitat

The species is distributed throughout much of the southeastern United States. It is endemic to the south-eastern United States.Wikipedia ↗

When it's active

Breeding takes place in slow moving bogs and streams. The effects that elevation has on larval stages have been studied extensively showing that at lower elevations larvae metamorphosized sooner than those at higher elevations which had delayed metamorphosis mostly due to overwintering.Wikipedia ↗
