Spotted Dusky Salamander Eggs
Desmognathus conanti

Field Notes
Description:
Found under this rock in a stream in Horseshoe Bend National Military Park. I am confident of the species because spotted dusky sallys are very protective of their eggs, and mom was there when these were found.
Habitat:
Adult Spotted Dusky Salamanders take refuge under logs, rocks, and leaf litter during the day, and move on stream banks at night. During courtship, the male stimulates the female by transferring pheromones from his mental gland, usually by rubbing his chin against the female's head or body. Eggs are laid under streamside debris and larvae are fully aquatic
