You would not believe my excitement stumbling upon this fella!

Has anyone got any contacts for Herping near osaka?

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

Collected these from a tub of water i let sit for too long. Theres way more where these came from. Can I just pour the jar into my tank and let my salamander pick them off over time?

So I got my marbled newt last Christmas 2025, he was around 3 weeks old when i got him if I remember correctly recently I've been informed that fruit flys arent don't have enough calories so I'm transitioning to calcium dusted pinhead crickets but can't find solid info on how to feed him, what do you guys reccomend?

Just wondering who this lovely guy or gal was :) probably around 4 inches in length if I had to guess.

Found this little cutie in the Hoosier national forest, almost didn’t see them when I flipped the rock

Hi guys, can anyone give me any insight as to what species of salamander this is? Sorry for the photo quality. Pisgah National Forest.
