A slow and steady romance!💘
- These salamanders have slow metabolisms, meaning their entire life cycle, including reproduction, moves at a more leisurely pace. Instead of rushing into romance, they take their time!

A blind romance😎💕
- In the darkness of their underground realm, Texas blind salamanders have evolved to perceive their surroundings primarily through their acute sense of smell. They can detect chemical cues in the water, which help them locate food sources and potential mates.

Year round romance!! 🥰
