		Arboreal salamander reportedly occurs in the foothills and lower elevations of every mountain range on National Forest System lands, although it is seldom seen (Stephenson and Calcarone 1999).
		Arboreal salamanders are typically found in coast live oak and interior live oak woodlands, but can also occur at the edges of moister areas, such coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) communities, or near drier areas such as coastal and montane chaparral (Rosenthal 1957).
		Arboreal salamanders are nocturnal and live both on the ground and in trees (Storer 1925).
