Southern Two-lined Salamander
Eurycea cirrigera
The adult Southern Two-lined Salamander lives along stream margins, wet woods, springs, and seepage areas, usually sheltering under rocks, logs, or damp leaf litter. It feeds on small insects, worms, and other invertebrates, striking from cover with a quick bite. As a lungless salamander, it breathes through moist skin and the lining of its mouth, so staying damp is essential for survival.
