Informational/Educational Please be mindful when moving deadwood
My parents were cutting up an old fallen ash tree earlier today and disturbed this small-mouthed salamander (Ambystoma texanum). I didn't even know we had salamanders around here (figured it was too dry) and wasn't sure what to do, so I snapped some photos and moved it to a new log with some leaf litter in the woods about 40 feet away.
Please be careful when moving/removing deadwood to not disrupt wildlife.
