T. granulosa habitat?

Hi all, i'm curious what the habitat of taricha granulosa looks like. Both above and under water. Can you show me some pics?

There.

Pictures of the forest and ponds/marshes.

So basically there is a lot of moss, a lot of trees, a lot of undergrowth, and a lot of green. Wet in the fall and spring, moist or dry in the summer, and cold and wet in the winter.
The ponds and such are clear, heavily planted usually, and frequent. With lots of other wildlife ( beavers, otters, waterfowl, fish, herons etc. ).

I live in the pacific northwest ( in T. granulosa ) habitat, and that's pretty much it. Wet, green, thick with vegetation, and cool.

I hope this helps Erik! -Seth

I think i did that right?

Plants that are in the ponds, hmm, well, i don't really know very many, but here's the ones i do know and pictures of the ones i have in my tank which are from T. granulosa breeding habitat.

TONS of Skunk cabbage, some Elodea, and lots of mystery plants, but here's a picture of one of the mystery plants that DOMINATE the marsh. They are everywhere!
