arboreal salamander

Reproduction is terrestrial. In late spring and early summer, females lay from 5 - 24 eggs in moist places, most commonly in decaying cavities of live oak trees, sometimes high off the ground, and also under rocks and other surface objects and inside logs. Females usually remain with the eggs until they hatch. Males have also been found with females at the egg deposition site. Large egg masses are sometimes laid with groups of salamanders.
