Range and Habitat: Mainly found in the coastal plain of North Carolina, particularly in pine savannas.
Habits: Like other mole salamanders, this species lives in underground burrows most of its life. These burrows, often in close proximity to temporary ponds and other wetlands in pine savannas can be over one meter deep.
Breeding: Mabee's Salamanders breed in semi-perminant wetlands from the late fall to early spring. Eggs are laid singly or in small groups on leaves or aquatic vegetation. Metamorphosis occurs in late spring when the then larvae are 5 - 6 cm long.
Status: Mabee's Salamanders are thought to be declining in North Carolina due to habitat loss.
