Blue spotted, Jeffersons, Spotted, Tiger, unisexual hybrids (depending on location of course) all come out in the hundreds to breed. Road cruising is a good idea if you don't know where pools are, as salamanders frequently cross roads on rainy nights in fragmented habitats.
Yeah, I'm trying to be patient but I want to try my hand at breeding these guys in captivity and I'd love to get some going by next breeding season, worst case scenario I wait until next vernal pool season but it would be amazing to start working at breeding them by 2020!
