Hello everyone,
I successfully rehabilitated a salamander that had been stepped on back in May. I think that he is ready for release, but I would really appreciate some input on what time it best to release him. It can either be in September or next spring. I can fatten him up and release him near a makeshift hibernaculum in September to improve his chance of surviving over the winter for September. Or would next spring be better because the environment will be more productive and he can live safely with me over the winter?
All input or thoughts would be much appreciated!
