How long does a spotted salamander live? National Geographic reports that they can live for up to 20 years in the wild. Opinions differ about its lifespan in captivity, ranging between 5-30 years.
Despite being fairly large and having an extremely broad range, the spotted salamander is actually pretty hard to, well, spot. They can reach 9 inches (23 centimeters) in length and are prevalent in mature deciduous forests from eastern Canada throughout the eastern and midwestern United States. But these secretive salamanders spend almost their entire lives hidden under rocks or logs or in the burrows of other forest animals. They will populate upland forests and mountainous regions, but are most common in moist, low-lying forests near floodplains.
