Flexi Says: Unlike most other amphibians that simply lay their eggs in water , few plethodontid salamanders lay their eggs on land. Salamander eggs are highly susceptible to dehydration, so the female will inhabit a natural and moist nest cavity, often in rotting logs, and lay her eggs there. The female curls herself around her eggs to protect them. The hatchlings remain in the nest cavity with their mother for up to a few weeks after hatching.
