The southeastern dwarf salamander (Eurycea quadridigitata), formerly known as the dwarf salamander, is a species of salamander native to the southern United States, ranging primarily from southern North Carolina south to northern Florida, with some populations from southwestern Alabama to eastern Louisiana.

[6] The southeastern dwarf salamander grows from 2.0 to 3.5 inches in length.

The southeastern dwarf salamander prefers habitats of swampy pine woods.

It is nocturnal and spends most of its time under leaf litter or forest floor debris.

Breeding occurs in the fall, with 12 to 48 eggs being laid singly or in small clutches attached to submerged debris in shallow, slow moving or still water.
