Ignatz PippinMy wife found two red-backed salamanders and a small frog between the soil filling a small plastic planter and the planter about a week ago, neither moving at all, all looking very flat (except for the salamander tails, which were rounded, more like healthy earthworms). We turned the soil ball back over, but left it out of the pot. Next day, no frog. Today, no salamanders either. Any comments?
I forgot to mention, this is southwestern Maine, near the corner of Cumberland, Oxford, and Androscoggin counties.
