Where does a flatwoods salemander live?

The flatwoods salamander primarily inhabits the longleaf pine ecosystems of the southeastern United States, particularly in states like Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. They prefer habitats characterized by seasonally wet flatwoods, which include grassy areas, pine forests, and nearby ephemeral ponds. These environments provide essential breeding sites and shelter from predators. Their reliance on specific habitat types makes them vulnerable to habitat loss and degradation.
