Lucifuga! Lucky catch! I've only ever seen longicauda.

Yep! Nice. I ended up getting the "Eurycea grand slam" this day, with lucifuga, longicauda, spelea, and tynerensis within 100 feet of each other.

Awesome! This was my first time seeing them in the wild. I've worked with a few salamander species back in California, but I've only been living in this side of the country less than two years.

Its head kind of makes me think of a frog's more than a salamander. Cute little thing

I thought the same thing when I was messing with it. This was the first one I had seen in the wild.

I totally didn't know this species (actually I know almost nothing about salamanders), but I already love it !

Awesome. They're a pretty cool species, but there really isn't a lot fully known about them. They're only found in a few states and they are pretty habitat specific, usually utilizing the depths of limestone caves.

Yeah, I recognized the type of rock on the picture (mineralogy is rather my field of knowing... ).
