Time to get crackin' on salamanders! If you read this blog regularly, you'll notice that there will be a lot of salamanders. This isn't because salamanders are exceptionally awesome (even though they are). It's just because there are so darn many of them in this state.Anyway, the Green Salamander is predominantly a Cumberland Plateau species, though they are known from a cedar glade in Wilson County. (I'm not sure specifically which glade it is, but it looks like it's in the Cedars of Lebanon area.) I've never seen one in the wild, probably because I've never done any legitimate salamandering in the Cumberlands.
