Range & habitat

Its natural habitats are pine and pine-oak forests at elevations of 2,200–2,700 m (7,200–8,900 ft) above sea level. It is a terrestrial salamander that hides under bark and in leaf-litter. It tolerates some degree of habitat disturbance and is sometimes found in rural gardens and selectively logged lots. It is threatened by habitat loss caused by extensive agricultural expansion, human settlements, and logging.
