WHERE DOES THE FLATWOODS SALAMANDER OCCUR?
The flatwoods salamander is found in pine flatwoods across the lower coastal plain in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Populations are distributed from the panhandle of Florida east to near Jacksonville, Florida; extreme southwest Georgia; and the coastal counties of Georgia and South Carolina from the Altamaha River north to the Francis Marion National Forest. About half of the known populations of flatwoods salamanders occur on public lands, including National Forests, wildlife refuges, and military bases. It is historically known from Alabama but it has not been observed in that State in over 15 years.
