Last week I was bringing plants inside when I discovered two Red-backed Salamanders hanging out under one of the saucers.

Which isn’t too odd except that one of them was a yellow morph. Of the hundreds I’ve monitored over the years I’d estimate that 60% were the “gray” morph, 40% were the “red” morph, and only a handful were yellow or another color.

I’ve never found a Red and Yellow morph together! I quickly examined both before putting their “roof” back over them.
