AIMEECLEOPATRA Thank you so much!!!! 💕💕💕
Me: *Sees tiger salamdander*
Me: *breaths in*
Me: DAAAAAAAD I WANT ONE
are you a turtle?
cuz ya know ask me anything ?
Get 1.....theyre awesome
I want...
I have always been interested in getting a Tiger Salamander so it's great to see this video! :D
I love the fact that as I am researching the reptiles and amphibians I want, it brings me back to your channel! Thank you for having all this information!
He's active due to heat stress. They don't like it above 24°C (they die at 26°C) and your hands are heating him up above that. That's the main reason why I don't recommend handling them.
wildwestherp s You’re completely right! Thank you so much for sharing that. I wasn’t being as observant because I was distracted making the video. I appreciate you helping out so much. 💕
What? Lol
They die at 26 Celsius ? That’s 78 degrees Fahrenheit that is not true at all. They live in all kinds of climates especially in arizona where it reaches well above 100 degrees
literally had this thing crawled up on our front porch!! scared the sh*t out of me. didn't know what it was so I TH-cam it and found your video lol
Great video. I have 5 tiger salamanders, in a 48"X18" terrarium, with doors that slide on each side. I have a land side, and a water side, separated with a cork log. If you keep the water shallow, about 2", they will swim a bit, or just hang out in the water. I tried sprigtails years ago, and they do a great job keeping the tank clean. I have been using New Zealand sphagnum moss for years, love it, and it's mold resistant.
Reptillian Garden: that makes a lot of sence. BTW, I love your channel and I've subscribed and turned on notifications. Your salamander is adorable. I have two tyger salamanders but they are still TINY.
This video is super helpful and has helped me so much while trying to convince my parents to buy me a tiger salamander just like Ponyo!
they really are easy to take care of.
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO !!! my water dog is in the process of transforming into a salamander . i’ve never had a “wet reptile” only bearded dragons , iguana so this is new to me and i’m excited
Wet reptile? They're amphibians
He’s so pretty! I’m going bio active for my sunbeam so I’ve been obsessively watching bio active videos LOL! I love the simplicity of your set up though - that’s what I’m going for!
ZA Reptiles Thank you so much! Your sunbeam is going to love it!!!
Omg I love Ponyo! Plz keep making videos or posting pics of him on Instagram. These vids are so helpful. Espically because I just a tiger salamander.
I got two water dogs and now they’re turning into tiger salamanders. I had no idea this would happen! So now I’m rushing to get everything ready cause I apparently only have a few days! Thanks for the great video!
What did they end up being larvae for?
Many slamanders have this larval stage, not just Tigers.
cool, I'm going to keep a salamander this spring to use for educational programs with kids. this will come in handy.
Those things are so awesome looking. When I was a kid growing up in Nebraska we used to catch those once in a while. Some were yellow/black like ponyo and some were orange/black. Mother Nature makes some cool stuff!
John Knouse I’ve never found one in the wild!!!! It’s one of my dreams lol
honestly your videos are so helpful.. like you have no idea! thank you!
I just got a baby tiger salamander....this video is very informative.....thanks sis
I randomly, and suddenly a few months ago started thinking of getting fish
But then I thought
Well what’s a little bit of a step up from that
Then I thought ✨salamanders✨
Your video is the only video I have seen that actually shows caring for these beautiful creatures❤️
I have two adult red-backed salamanders, this was a bit more helpful than the research I’ve been doing ^^’
Loved the video I have one tiger salamander that is morphing to terrestrial right now so I'm looking at how to make a habitat. Great info
I love the way you say Salamander ❤️
This guy is so cute! Since I went to school I've been deeply in love with amphibians! Around springtime I used to catch mountain newts (my 'swimming jewels') but in the summer I had to take them back to their pond. Btw, I also had a 'cleansing gang', a whole bunch of daphniae!
Always love your videos great information always love you and your kids please keep them coming thanks and love you kiddo
I love him 😍 I have an axolotl, and now I want a Tiger salamander ...
Really appreciate this video! Trying to learn how to help keep this new roommate not only alive but happy and healthy!
Love the suggestion of Springtails! Do you find that they ever worm their way out of the container and become a nuisance elsewhere? I have a large terrarium with Eco Earth and would very much be interested in these helpful critters.
Additionally, I had been told that they love earthworms and that these are a great food source. I definitely am thankful I stumbled across this in my first week on this amphibian adventure, I will be seeking out some insects to help supplement Sally's food source!
Thanks tons!
Ponyo is adorable
Ponyo is a barred tiger salamander. My favorite salamander because of it's size and skin markings.
when i was like 7 we took a class trip to our nature center and i found a tiger salamander and put it in my pocket until the teacher found out and we had to put him back haha.. love these guys
I’m getting a spotted salamander but this helped a lot!
I LOVE HIM!!! I have had a tiger salamander before they are awesome.😍I don't think I will get another one.😑
So I’m pretty sure my salamander IceCream is a yellow spotted. I live in Michigan and he came in through my sisters drain. She put him in an ice cream tub so that’s why his name is ice cream but I have always wanted an amphibious pet. I had no idea what I was doing but it’s winter in MI and I didn’t want to put him out to die so thank you! I love my IceCream.
Ty so much I just got one and I did not no how to take care of him so ty and Dynamite I hope is doing ok now :]
I love Ponyo, he has the most adorable face
matteo cajumi Facts. 😍😭💕
Instead of springtails I like using dwarf white isopods and the larger dairy cow isopods. Besides being a bioactive clean up crew the dairy cow isopods are a secondary food source.
Awesome video Trish♡ love you
Jessica Eisenbraun Thank you so much! I love you too!!! 💕💕💕
Earthworms are actually suited perfectly nutrition-wise for tiger salamanders, and most salamanders really. They're quite nutritious and their calcium to phosphorus ratio is perfect, while crickets and other common feeder insects require calcium dusting and other vitamin dusting. The caudata site has a whole page detailing salamander nutrition; the site in general is a great resource for this information. The information you're giving for their diet sounds more like something suited to leopard geckos.
Nioa Thank you so much! I’ll check that out because I’ve always heard the earthworms aren’t has nutritious, so I use other insects instead.
Earthworms are high in calcium and protein as well as fluids.
@@reptiliangarden the staple diet should absolutely be earthworms. Nightcrawlers cut in half ideally. Perfect CA:Phosphorous ratio.
@@reptiliangarden I have a question, one of the salamanders i have are mutated! causing him to be small for long times.
I look like Ponyo, Salamanders are my spirit animal:)
awesome video. Can i have 2 or 3 salamander in a 90 gallon aquarium/habitat?
So sweet! Here in Colorado we have these little guys wandering around some time. Me and my best friend just saved one of these boys from our neighbors yard. Just wondering: how much can they irritate your skin? After I saved him (using gloves mostly) he managed to touch my hand, which kind of irritated it. From what I read, they can irritate you?
Just wondering what his name is gotten from😶 what a beauty!
ogfergi There’s a movie called Ponyo where this little fish turns into a human. Ponyo is a half land/water creature too so I thought it was fitting. They both have cute faces too 💕
I have a tote tub much like yours to keep my Tiger Salamander, Buffy, in. I've drilled many 3/16" holes into the lid and along all four sides in an effort to keep the humidity down to around 70%.
I have about two inches of potting soil as a substrate, a water receptacle and some forest bark and material for her to crawl under. I've installed a digital thermometer/ Hygrometer to monitor her enclosure for humidity. What do you do to keep your humidity to around 70% ?
Can you make a video about setting up a bioactive enclosure for bearded dragons?? Love your videos, by the way!!!
kate I personally don’t like loose substrate for my beardie, so I won’t be making a video on that. Sorry! I know it’s more complex for beardies also, so I wouldn’t want to mess that up. I wish I could be more helpful.
And thank you so much!!!💕
I love these animals.
Thank you very much for the video! It was really thoughtful.
Could you clarify if tiger salamanders may live together with another species? For instance frogs, big newts and another types of salamanders.
And it is interesting whether they are able to swim well. Can they sink if the basin is deep enough.
Thanks in advance.
Way to go
Very helpful! Thanks
The tiger salamander sinking he’s walking an infinite world in his 20 gallon tank:
Oh my dream salamander he's insane
I just found one in a parking lot last night lol. Coop little guy so far
Sorry for three damn comments lol let me know how the bio bedding works I was thinking of switching my tiger salamander over to it too!
Jessicas Animal Friends I will!!! So far it seems to work great for my frog in retaining moisture!
Really informative video!! I really wish that this had come out before I got my salamander- but I am looking forward to be a better salamander owner! Also, where can you get the spring worms? (Side note: Ponyo looks so cute!)
sprigtails, some pet stores carry them, and I got mine at a reptile show
great video....where can I purchase a bright yellow and black tiger salamander?
Do they need to go through a winter brumation? I live at the top of Minnesota and just caught a tiger salamander and w
ould like to keep him, but I will release him if I need to.
I was either gonna get a cane toad or tiger salamander but am leaning towards an salamander. Because they seem more interactive. Plus I only have room for a 15 gallon and I don’t think cane toads can be kept in that small of a tank
Think I found my next pet 😍 he’s gorgeous
Update😖
Hi there! I´ve been doing a lot of research on salamander care lately and I just noticed that there´s a difference between a spotted salamander and a tiger salamander (thought they were pretty much the same just different names, mixed them up due to their looks), and I was just wondering if you happened to know the "exact" differences between the two to make sure I wouldn´t accidentally end up with the wrong type of habitat and care etc. From what I´ve read I haven´t been able to find that many differences. Thanks!
I just saw one on the train station at 2 am walking in the side walk, wanted to help him but i just heard i need to get my hand wet or not sure if it's the same animal but it sure looked alike.
I have been watching videos about salamanders and newts because I have a small terrarium and a couple tanks that I don't have anything in besides the bioactive plants,soil, and some rollie pollies.I have wanted to get some salamanders and newts,but I am having trouble deciding what species I want to get.I really like the spotted salamander because I found one years ago that had a very bright purple color and I kept him for a while, but ended up releasing him back where I found him. I wouldn't feel as bad if I bought a captive bred specimen.I would like to keep and breed a species that was native and could benefit from captive breeding programs.
Great video i love them☺☺
I have a serious question! I have fungus gnats in my tiger salamander set up. So beneficial nematodes harm salamanders? Specifically Steinernema feltiae
Do you have any recommendations for when they're morphing from aquatic to terrestrial form. Mine is starting that process and I really don't know what to do! Please help
How many times a week and how many roaches would you feed? Should they be kept with other salamanders? Would I change the eco earth evrey month? Sorry that is a lot of questions 😅 (edit:AHHH also would this work the same as fire salamanders?)(edit again: would you spray the invlosure evrey day?)
Okay, I have one question. Where did you get Ponyo? I have really wanted a pet salamander in general for a long time, and I don’t really know where to get one.
Awesome vid I have been wanting one
Rose Sanders Thank you! I got mine from rainforest junkies. Couldn’t recommend them enough
Reptilian Garden, ok thank you I’ll check them out
Great video question did the springtails ever come out of the container do you every find them on the counter or on the floor they ever get loose I guess is what I’m asking thanks
They can't live without a water source.
You're amazing 😻
Excellent video,
i love bio-active, what live plants could be safe for a tiger salamander?
Bob Soto I know pothos and bromeliads would be great! A great place to check out is joshs Frogs because you can find reptile and amphibian safe plants and buy them pesticide free and have them shipped! They come in great condition. If you use my coupon code reptiliangarden at the checkout, you’ll save 15% off your order! 💕
I stick with plastic, they aren't called mole salamanders for nothing.
I have my eastern newt and I wanna add one of these babies to my gang! (Obviously in its own tank I’m a moderately experienced keeper.
Hi Jessica, I am a cut flower farmer and I have a 3,000 square foot greenhouse. I was lifting my dahlia tubers, and I dug up two Tiger Salamanders. I live in Colorado, and I learned that is our state amphibian. I am wondering if the greenhouse can be their new home? There are slugs, earthworms and crickets. I don't know what to do. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!
I hardly ever hold my tiger Salimander as well and when I do I wear rubber gloves so I dont irritate its skin and also where did you get your water dish for you salimander?
Would you still recommend this set-up for a tiger salamander? I love them dudes so much.
this literally is a video of a tiger salamander setup. It's also not a great setup, the minimum substrate depth should be at least 4".
@@ericshane491 Hi Eric. Her setup has changed in her recent videos and I was wondering if she would still recommend this one - the old setup. No need to be a smartass, right?
Love Your Video Ponyo is soooooooooo Cute
me and my kids just found a large salamander today hiding under our wood. trying to learn how to care for this little guy. any advice would be great thanks.
how often should I give it calcium with d3? whats a safe level of calcium ex. 2-3 times per week and how many quarts is the tub you are using?
My tiger salamander is about three to four years old. Eats OK and is very active but has two large blueberry shaped sores on her tail. Cannot I afford exotic vet bill but I love her. Any suggestions? I've been soaking her in light Epsom salt and keeping her environment as clean as I can. Anything else I can be doing?
Very good video but I want to know if i can pair a tiger salamander with a leaf frog?
no.
I use various size screwdrivers heat it up in the flame of my stove to easily burn holes in the Sterilite type containers with snaps on top, which you can get as a very low price at Walmart. Your ventilation holes on the side seem very low, I hope no feeder insects Escape. Dubia roaches breathe very fast even at room temperature as long as you keep them dry. I get just about most of what I need from Amazon Prime with free shipping.
And for your next video, you're gonna keep a tiger cat.
Take care and God loves you.
If I would grab one do I rinse my hands with sink water before graving them?
what kind of plants are safe for the tank for salamanders?
Question, do you have to feed them live insects?
Where did you get the Container? Just wondering?
WHAT THE SONG AFTER YOU CUT IN THE FINISH
Where do you get the dirt, cleaner stuff, food, and springtails? Looking into getting one.
Micah Clark From joshsFrogs.com they have everything you need to make a bioactive enclosure. The ship it right to your door in great condition, love plants too. If you use my coupon code reptiliangarden, you’ll save 15% off your order 💕
I need help with my salamander...
🙏 Thank you!
Can this also be used for a fire salamander???
im having the hardest time finding one, how did u get that cute little guy???
How often do you dust their food and with what
My pups name is Ponyo!
Is it ok to have floating land docks the can burrow in and than a thing of water with mud they can burrow in to?
That sounds like a drowning hazard. Their habitat should be mostly terrestrial... they don't really live in water as adults, they kind of just go for a dip from time to time.
That is a California tiger salamander, quite different looking than the one I found under a log as a kid in MN
Yes it's a barred tiger salamander
California tiger salamanders look a lot different than these... it's mostly black with some yellow spots. AFAIK they are also super illegal to keep as pets because they're endangered. This one is almost certainly a barred tiger salamander... they are the prettiest and get the biggest.
My 4 year old daughter wants to know if you have video on king cobras.
how do you go about cleaning there spray bottle.?
Ur so pretty! ❤️❤️
Simerlyn’s Spot Aww thank you!!! 💕
Would the same setup work for a Red Salamander?
Just found one barely alive at work (Best Buy) hiding under fridge and trying to nurse him back to health
Where can I get one?
Omg! You are soooo beautiful!
Can you feed them small salamander pellets
