Streamside Salamander (Ambystoma barbouri) Streamside Salamanders and Small-mouthed Salamanders are sibling species meaning that they are nearly identical in appearance. Major differences between the two are size and shape of their teeth and different habitats. Streamside Salamanders generally breed in small fishless streams or in pools fed by such streams. Breeding occurs from December to April. Eggs are deposited singly on the underside of rocks and hatch in 1 to 2 months.
