Range & habitat
Bolitoglossa salvinii primarily resides in the upper coastal plain of southern Guatemala and specific locations in El Salvador. Its habitat spans elevations from 600 to 1,250 meters above sea level, but urbanization and habitat decline pose significant threats, especially in El Salvador, leading to a suspected population decrease.
