Just like that... He was 5 or 6 years old, he was my soul animal, I love him to death. I can't believe it happened so fast, he was great the other day and cold the next one. I'm so sad we didn't have more time together :(
Appreciation post I guess, he was such a deeply fella
Both were seen off of the Roaring Fork Motor Trail in GSMNP. Pretty sure slide 2 is a Cherokee Black Belly, but I'm not an expert lol. Thanks!
this guy was absolutely stunning. he was so vibrant that he almost looked like a pinkish-coral color.
he was super uncooperative but also super slow! he kept turning around and walking away at a turtle’s pace as I tried to photograph him. it was a bit frustrating, but it was also hilarious and I finally managed to get some decent photos :)
Does my spotted salamander look overweight? I feed him twice a week, but I’m starting to worry that I may be over feeding him.
Spent the better part of of an hour around Kuwohi looking for manders, and happily found these guys. Can’t remember if I photographed the one that was no larger than my thumbnail, guessing that could be a pigmy? Otherwise, if anyone knows these species that would be helpful!
Tiger Salamander I found hanging out in the middle of the road a couple months ago. Western Uinta Mountains UT
Wondering if anyone can help ID these two Sally’s. I beyond is a shovel nosed but not sure if both are. Anything helps!
I found four of these six species in Virginia this year!
hello everyone! this is my first summer with my first salamander, today i woke up and went to check his tank and to my surprise saw him out and about, he’s never done this before (except when i catch him late at night) google seems to think it could be weather, hormones or food related (he’s on mealworms at the moment as the crickets were hard to keep alive and my lizards also enjoy the mealworms)
however with the temperatures the way they are at the moment (30 degrees +) i just thought id double check to make sure this isn’t something i should worry about / if anyone could give me some pointers on making him more comfortable or easing my panic!
edit to add: im also a little worried about his size, i bought him in june and i reckon he was about that size then and he doesn’t seem to be putting on much weight either, i know the males tend to have slimmer bodies (which i believe he is but correct me if im wrong!)
I grew up looking for snakes and salamanders pretty regularly, and until I found this I had no idea they even existed/salamanders got that big where I live (Eastern Canada).
Was gardening and filming a video for a buddy when I found it.
Can anyone please help me?
I would like to know if this is male or female. Based on what I have researched, I’m thinking that by the tail it is most likely a female, but I don’t know this for sure. What I do know for sure is that it is absolutely gorgeous.
Hi! I am planning to have a tiger salamander! But there is a technical problem about keeping the temperature low in my room. My room temperature in summer will be around 77- 80°F and that is too hot for it. How do u guys keep your salamander cool without using air con? Will it cool enough if I use a fan near the enclosure？
Found in Michigan pond after rain storm and I’m unsure of which species it is and if it’s aquatic or not? I feel like it’s a spotted salamander/ tiger salamander or maybe a small mouthed salamander but from what I know they are usually found more on land unless in larva stage, correct?
I thought the only species were van dykes, western red backed, Olympic torrent, long toed, and northwestern. And newt, but obviously not newt. This doesn't look like any of those.
I'm getting a tiger salamander, native to where I live. I'm still a minor and can't get a job at the moment, and I have to pay for the dude's stuff myself. I'm experienced in bird handling but I've never touched a reptile, save for the one my auntie got. Anyway, I plan on buying a 20 gallon aquarium because this fella doesn't need anything like handling, but I need a relatively cheap one, since my budget is like, $180. The dude is permanently injured on his hand (yes I took him to a rehab, my mum went with me and agreed we could keep him if I provided for him myself, in which I earn money and go to my local petsmart and grab his food. The lady at the rehab told us he's alright and I should take him if I want him). I would also like more insight on these little fellas before I actually take him in by the time I buy him his necessities, and just like, general facts. Agan, the fella is a tiger salamander, and I was careful not to touch him
My tiger salamander is finally eating consistently! I’m feeding her once a week, how ever many meal worms she’ll take in about 5-10min. Does this seem reasonable? She doesn’t come out and beg for food (yet) and I don’t want her to fall victim to the fat salamander issue! Here she is from the top freshly after eating, she’s normally just a tad thinner than this.
Also she sits under her water bowl all week until it’s feeding day, because of this I feel like she is drying her skin out (pictured kind of wrinkly) The cage is always about 70% humidity should I make it more humid so she comes out and gets inside her water bowl? Or just let her do her thing. She used to burrow throughout the tank in the dirt and didn’t have this problem. But I can’t say I hate having her under the bowl, easy to check on her.
(Also I have no idea if she’s a girl and if you can tell she isn’t don’t tell me 😂 or do but I’ll still pretend)
Thank you everyone for all the help and resources! Doesn't have a name, but they're currently in quarantine. Breeder: animabilia inc.
So sweet!
