Woodland Salamanders (primarily Plethodontids) emerge at night when the weather is between 50 degrees Fahrenheit and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. They are more active above ground on rainy nights because water is plentiful and food abundant. In hot months of summer they estivate (spend time in a state of torpor or dormancy) underground and during the cold months of winter they travel deep into the soil and hibernate.

If the weather is right take a head lamp out at night and turn over rocks and logs or search the base of large tree for these awesome creatures. Be careful not to handle them too long and if you pick them up please return them to the exact point of capture. Most of these species are territorial and have small home ranges.

In general, most salamander species breed in the very early spring after the first rain post-thaw... so usually between March and early April.
