This red-backed salamander (Plethodon cinereus) was seen in the garden today underneath a rock. One of the more common salamanders in the eastern United States, it is affected by acidic pollution and habitat disturbance. Red-backed salamanders prefer natural habitat where they can hide under logs and rocks during the day and forage in leaf litter at night. Our wildlife garden contains numerous rocks and limbs and branches that fall are recycled for habitat. This salamander one of the many animal species that utilize the wildlife habitat garden at McMullen House Bed & Breakfast.
