Blue Ridge two-lined salamanders inhabit areas near streams of varying sizes throughout the Blue Ridge Mountains. During the breeding season, adults are mainly found in streams, but at other times, they venture deep into terrestrial environments and are less frequently seen near waterways. The stripes on a Blue Ridge two-lined salamander become interrupted approximately halfway down the tail. These salamanders primarily feed on a range of small invertebrates.
