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
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.
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❤️
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!
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
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!
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!
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.
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 just bough 3 from a store that sells the paedomorph as bait. so i bought them all. i have a 55 gal tub with loads of plants, sand, and guppies. i think they will be happy. i have a few 40g breeders when they become adult. i may just buy another 55gal tub for them as well
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.
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!
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!
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 💕
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?
@@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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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% ?
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.
if you handle amphibians often, their skin gets dry and they can't breathe very well because they breathe with their skin. And salamanders are carnivores, so they don't eat plants.
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
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.
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.
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?
Where do you get your springtails from? I just got my whites tree frog out of quarantine and I’d love to get him some springtails for his little house!

I have a serious question! I have fungus gnats in my tiger salamander set up. So beneficial nematodes harm salamanders? Specifically Steinernema feltiae
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?)
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 have seen some people say it's not good to handle them a lot because they have sensitive skin, but I was wondering if I wore gloves and wet them with dechlorinated water, would handling them still be harmful? Or is it just because of the salts, oils and etc on the skin?
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.
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!)
I've had a setup like that for years, just keep the water side shallow, maybe around 2" deep or so, and make sure it's easy to get in ans out of the water, I use a cork log to separate the two sides.
Well I have a tiger salamander but by accident. My friend had caught some mud puppies and I took one. Over time it started to change its form I thought it was normal but then I started to research and it turned out it was a Tiger salamander. And I have no idea what I should do I do take care of it like keeping the tank moist and feeding it insects but I don’t know if I should release it because it came from the wild so should I release it back?
First of all: you are adorable
Secondly: ponyo is adorable

If I would grab one do I rinse my hands with sink water before graving them?
Just found one barely alive at work (Best Buy) hiding under fridge and trying to nurse him back to health
Question, do you have to feed them live insects?
So why can’t you hold salamanders often? Do they carry bugs like frogs do? Also do they only eat bugs not fruit and veg like some lizards?
if you handle amphibians often, their skin gets dry and they can't breathe very well because they breathe with their skin. And salamanders are carnivores, so they don't eat plants.
Oh my dream salamander he's insane
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
My pups name is Ponyo!
Will an adult salamander eat a baby salamander if left in the same enclosure
Love Your Video Ponyo is soooooooooo Cute
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.
Where can I get one?
I love these animals.
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 have seen some people say it's not good to handle them a lot because they have sensitive skin, but I was wondering if I wore gloves and wet them with dechlorinated water, would handling them still be harmful? Or is it just because of the salts, oils and etc on the skin?
Yes! As long as you take those precautions to keep their skin free of irritation!

What are Springtails?
what kind of plants are safe for the tank for salamanders?
do salamanders like water I'm thinking of doing a half land half water bioactive enclosure for mine!
I've had a setup like that for years, just keep the water side shallow, maybe around 2" deep or so, and make sure it's easy to get in ans out of the water, I use a cork log to separate the two sides.
thx!
Well I have a tiger salamander but by accident. My friend had caught some mud puppies and I took one.

It might die if u release it after keeping it for too long, but it might be ok also, 50-50 chance, who knows
Are salamanders toxic to humans?
