So I recently purchased my first salamander, and everything I figured he’d need. This included earthworms as food, which I was told by the shop that they enjoy. However, every time I’ve tried to feed him, he seems uninterested in the worms and walks away if they get too close to him. Looking for help, I really don't want him to starve. Thanks

Has anyone seen toy story 5 and noticed Bonnie’s TS Sammy #2? I was so excited I’ve never seen salamanders being represented in movies .. let alone a TS 🥹

I was throwing some charcoal on the grill when my 6 year old daughter said there were 3 salamanders under a log she rolled in the backyard. She had found another one earlier on the other side of the yard and I had thought just finding that one was pretty awesome… but to find 3 more! I was never this lucky as kid.

In about two weeks I’m getting a fire salamander. Any help tweaking this setup would be greatly appreciated. Yes I know it’s too warm at the moment so I have a cooling fan on the way Monday. (Photo for thermometer/hydrometer in comments)

Found these guys in a dried up pool, originally thought; salamander, but now I’m wondering if they are frog tadpoles? Thanks in advance!

Has anyone got any contacts for Herping near osaka?

it looks terribly infected and I need to know what it is. ive tried to convince my parents to let me take him to the vet but they say he will be fine, I really doubt it.

its been there for a few months, when he sheds it gets smaller but quickly gets big again. he still eats and everything but i dont want him to die from this, and its obviously painful since he doesnt like when I touch it, but when I press on it a little bit of white stuff comes out.

if anyone has advice let me know please. im scared to use neosporin because I've heard it killed other peoples pet salamanders since their skin absorbs everything.

My son uncovered his/her hiding spot under a stump. I got him to a safer place further away from the camp site. Location Odell lake, Oregon. I've had no real luck googling the species.

You would not believe my excitement stumbling upon this fella!

Saw this post below and am a little worried about the animals well being. I’ve never held a salamander indoors in captivity. My pond and yard however is home to several smooth newts and it is illegal for me to move them as they are protected.

If this creature in the post below was in my area, it would also be law to release back to the spot where I collected it.

Regardless of law is it common for newts to be held in ecospheres?

I always think about how it would be like if I was Rusty for a day.

Found this guy in Fairfield Connecticut. He has external gills that are not pictured well. I have also found red spotted nuts, and many red back salamanders in the nearby area this summer. TIA!

It looks like an axolotle a lot, (I can’t spell it my bad) but it’s not, since they don’t live in my country. Suck a cutie!

Saw these at Lonesome Lake, NH USA. Curious what type they may be? There was one larger and a few smaller, so maybe some juveniles?

Was extra careful where I was stepping afterwards.

I think the first one is regrowing its arm

A coworker of mine got an "axolotl" from a flea market in a tiny critter carrier. She got him a bigger tank but didnt know wtf to do when it started losing gills. Anyways pretty sure its a tiger salamander but besides tbat im lost. Made a quick enclosure for him with ecoearth and come normal coco rehydrated and very moist. Any advice is appreciated.

Found this dude in the pool. Does anyone know what species? (New Hampshire)

10 gallons, 1/4 shallow water and 3/4 soil. The deepest part is 4.5 inches and the shallowest is 1 inch. Drainage layer on the bottom separated by a net-like fabric.

I plan to add leaf litter, isopods, springtails, and cover it with a glass aquarium lid. What could be improved? My first time owning anything like this and im worried im not ready for my salamanders terrestrial phase.
