Early spring is a good time to search for salamanders as they lay under damp logs and other woodland debris. ( all salamanders are returned quickly to their damp, dark home after a quick photograph )
Ambystoma tigrinum
An exceptional adult male seen along the edge of a mostly frozen breeding pool during a heavy downpour in southeast Michigan. A powerful storm system brought more than 3 inches of rain to the Great Lakes Region over the course of three days, completely melting a foot of snow we received a week earlier and got a few early amphibians out and moving. February 20th is by far the earliest I've seen salamanders active in Michigan.
Thanks to Don data dub and Paul Kaiju for hooking me up with my first Salamander Joe to customize. This sculpt and toy by Paul is absolutely beautiful. So many curves and details to get lost in. I'll post final pics once I'm complete.
Spotted Salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) had inundated the breeding pond on this particular warm rainy night in early January. Males and females were zipping along all over the place, performing their yearly mating ritual that had occurred so many times before at this location. Fortunately for myself, this one took a momentary break from all the frenzy and posed nicely in front of me.

Suberterrean Amphibian. Rare appearance above ground!
He's above 7 inches long tip to tale. Background was an a car.
Glacier Park's Salamander Glacier hangs above Grinnell Lake and Grinnell Glacier.
From Wikipedia:
The glacier lies on a shelf on the east side of the arête which is part of the Continental Divide, at an average elevation of 7,200 feet (2,200 m) above sea level. The Salamander Glacier covered an area of approximately 57 acres (0.23 km2) as of 1993. Before Grinnell Glacier retreated significantly, it used to encompass The Salamander Glacier and the two become separate sometime before 1929. The Salamander Glacier was measured at 42 acres (0.17 km2) in 2005, which is a 23 percent reduction since 1966. Though only .10 mi (0.16 km) in length, The Salamander Glacier is about .75 mi (1.21 km) wide.
San Mateo Co., California - This guy was a small individual for the species - probably a young individual.
This is probably the dark phase of an Eastern Red-backed Salamander although I could easily mistake it for a Ravine Salamander as I have been known to do.
Possibly the best-known salamander species in Europe.Fire Salamanders are found in most of southern and central Europe. They are most commonly found at altitudes between 250 metres (820 ft) and 1,000 metres (3,300 ft), only rarely below (in Northern Germany sporadically down to 25 metres (82 ft)). However, in the Balkans or Spain they are commonly found in higher altitudes as well.
These two salamander egg masses were attached to twigs and submerged in several inches of water in a vernal pool at the Ft. Ancient earthworks.
Fire Salamander (captive) I took a photo of back in 2012. Haven't had much time for photography lately so I'm going through some old stuff.

We found this spotted salamander on a land clearing job in Laurens SC. It is South Carolina's state amphibian.
Long-tailed salamander (Eurycea longicauda) - Shawnee National Forest, Union County, Illinois
I didn't realize until I was reviewing my images that I didn't have any photographs of this species until now. its a pretty salamander that ranges through the Appalachian region of the United States. Like all Eurycea this belongs to Plethodontidae, which are characterized by their lack of lungs. These lungless salamanders primarily breathe through their skin (cutaneous respiration), this limits them to rather wet environments as their skin is prone to drying out otherwise.
I'm not sure if I could ever get tired of watching salamanders. These were in a little pool by the Sandy River.
So many exciting things to see this vacation. The highlight was my return from hiking Crystal Creek looking for salamanders to my granddaughter Haley having found the only Long-tailed of the trip! She had netted it, set it up in my critter keeper with water and shelter and tried to match it up in my field guide (she was close!). We took it back to the creek for a photo shoot. I was so happy and proud!

Anyone knowthe ID?
