Field Notes

Description:

Two-Lined Salamanders are fairly small salamanders, ranging from 2.5-3.75 in (6.4-9.5 cm). They are tan to light yellow with two black longitudinal stripes running from the eyes onto the tail. Dorsum is flecked with black spots. They have a narrow body and 14 costal grooves between adpressed limbs. Males have cirri, which are small downward projections from the nostrils that are thought to play are role in chemoreception. Males may also be identified by a swollen cloaca.
