[4] In the plethodon genus, species have a lungless morphology, restricting nearly all gas and water exchange transport to the body surface.

[5] This species mainly consumes insects, including ants, centipedes, springtails, crickets, millipedes, slugs, snout-beetles, and earthworms.

[7] One of their predator defense mechanisms is the release of noxious/sticky substances through the skin by the dorsal granular glands.

[9] This species of Plethodon are mostly terrestrial and deposit their direct-developing eggs on land that omits the aquatic larval stage characteristic of most amphibians, therefore this species is not restricted to aquatic habitats for reproduction and dispersal.

[7] This species, along with other Plethodontid salamanders, are frequently parasitized by Trombicula mites.
