Two specimens identified in treeless, coastal dune habitat. One found beneath narrow board. Another was found under wood chips of driftwood. They were brown above with yellow speckles; underside pale beige. Large adult measured SVL 70 mm (2 in.), TL 135 mm (5 in.) and possessed prominent yellow, dorsal blotching.
Two discovered, one was beneath fallen oak limb in ravine and second under bark of toppled oak tree. This individual measured SVL 22 mm (1 in.), TL 57 mm (2 in.).
Found sheltered in pile of oak limbs and its discovery came as a surprise, because infinitesimal rainfall accumulated during 2002 season. This is a large adult with conspicuous yellow blotching.
Detected at night with aid of flashlight by carefully examining wet, moss covered cliff. Locality represents an increase of previously known elevation distribution and reveals that in proper habitat this species is capable of existing high on mountains. Three specimens identified from this locality and one was particularly large and measured SVL 95 mm (3 in.), TL 185 mm (7 in.).
Oddly, it was found exposed beside wet, moss-covered log during the day. Upon inspection, it appeared to be dead, tail was severely mangled and minor bite-lacerations could be seen about head and limbs. However, when picked up showed sign of life by weakly moving. Further examination revealed red rash on throat, and toes blood-red, possibly representing type of red-leg disease. Although located alive, the impression is that it will soon die. The attack upon the salamander inflicting the lacerations, may have been provoked by its weaken state and the actual cause of death due to disease. It was grayish above with small yellow speckles on sides; underside cream colored; measured SVL 70 mm (2 in.), TL 133 mm (5 in.). .
