Warwick Amphibian Rescue Mission
During the evening of the first spring rains spotted salamanders emerge to mate in vernal pools, making them the most vulnerable during their lives. Spotted salamanders are usually unseen, burrowing beneath rotted logs and leaf litter. They are large as far as salamanders go, yet have a certain beauty, almost black with yellow spots.
Spotted, blue-spotted and Jefferson salamanders and wood frogs emerge from hibernation on rainy nights in early spring, usually March or April, when the ground is thawed and air temperatures reach 40ºF. (Marbled salamanders breed in the fall.) When conditions are right, there are often hundreds, if not thousands, of amphibians on the move; amongst nature enthusiasts, these spring migration events are often referred to as “Big Nights.”
