How to find Salamanders

salamander

Mostly, salamanders are at wet places. Everything you find that has moss growing on it, turn it over because there might be a salamander. I even found a fat girl salamander with eggs in it. I thought it was a Canadian night crawler. But when I pulled it out of the dirt, it had legs and was a salamander. Rocks with moss on them definitely look under them. Especially if they’re near a tree. Salamanders love the moist wet land. Salamanders feel ewey and gooey. But they don’t bite, so don’t worry. you can pick them up whenever you want. Just don;t squeeze them too hard in case they have eggs. Turn them over on their back and if they have a big belly with eggs inside it’s a female. They are amphibians. They are like lizards, but they are slower. All other amphibians like toads and frogs and newts are related to salamanders because they are amphibians too.

This picture of the salamander that my dad took, the girl salamander we found was on my thumb and it raised one if it’s front legs. And it looks like it’s waiving Hi! The big fat salamander I found which is a girl, it burled underground. Their eyes are black. Some of the salamanders have black skin and some of the salamanders have brown skin.

Does anyone know what kind of salamander this is?
