On this beautiful spring day my herpetology class went out searching for vernal pools containing herp eggs and spermatophores. While walking between vernal pools we searched underneath forest debris for salamanders. I flipped over a log and found this beautiful spotted salamander. It was around 4 inches long and seemed very tired because it didn't move much when I lifted the log it was underneath.
