The time is ripe! Caught one on my parents' driveway, took some pictures, and then released. Saw another one crossing the road, but couldn't stop for it.
Unfortunately, I didn't see any in "Peeper Pond" by my house. Maybe tonight if the rain keeps up?
Sadly, I ran across a FRESHLY hit black rat snake on my way home...it was huge too...but obviously crossing this busy road in the rain/55 degree temps...who woulda thunk it?
A week or so ago, I got a tip about a road for Ringed Salamanders. With the rain moving through last night as I was driving past the area, I decided to take a quick detour and give it a shot. In no time at all, I spotted 6 annulatum!
The road sits at the base of a wooded hillside with several cattle ponds in pasture below. All of the annulatum were moving back up the hill, likely in reverse of their breeding migrations a few weeks back.
The other interesting thing about this tip is that the woman told me of one road-killed salamander she's seen that was LARGER than a Ringed...and NOT a Spotted! Although she did not know what it was herself, I wonder if it might have been a Tiger? In any case, I'll be checking this road periodically in hopes...

Kory, I was wondering if you have followed up on this at all? With the chances for rain in the next few days, I have been thinking about tigers. I may be interested in going out with you if you do. You still have my home phone number?

Hmmm...might be something to consider. I'll PM you.
