[JOKESonSPOKES]

FAKE!!

[lorojacob5]

[MrKeithhudson69]

that was a good video

[greatlakeskayaker]

Wow beautiful salamander, looks well taken care of :>)

[obsquatch]

Pretty slick!  Muhaha! What's his name?

[jimmymccombs]

WILL HE BITE NICE VIDEO COOL.

[manyonerise]

no teeth but its still shocking when they bite lol! Dylan is cool, I bought his DVD last year. Great to find ya Annya! He's gorgeous. And, wow my toad Honker would slurp up the biggest worms WOW. lol. I'll send yo the link to my toad vids. *hugs* :D Jess

[AnnyaMoon]

Yea when they grab on they dont wanna let go lol

Thanks for coming by manyonerise.

[manyonerise]

Wow! One thing about all of the toads that I have had is that they absolutely will not bite. It's interesting that the salamanders will bite even when kept and tamed for a long time. I am wanting to try a Gecko. I'm not sure if I should get one at the pet store or not, or just catch one out here, I tend not to catch unless I come across something in distress that needs rescued, but I might keep one of the local geckos for a few weeks to gather some behavior info on them. TY :D Jess

[monkeykid101]

it is a tiger salamander male

[MyPinkRainbow]

gosh i am like terrified of lizards and snakes and stuff, your brave i would be freakin out

[wavewash]

How did you catch him? I don't think I've ever seen a salamander in the wild. Really pretty animal.

[AnnyaMoon]

Thanks :)

Well actually I didnt mean to imply I caught him. I more or less rescued him. A roomate of mine was leaving and I volunteered to just keep the tank and salamanders.

You dont see them ordinarily thier underneath leaves and in damp well hid places.

[tigersalamandergirl]

u have not seen real salamander i feel soo bad 4 u

[TheHowardShow]

I live in Michigan and I've NEVER seen a "tiger-salmananderer". At least not in my basement or surrounding areas anyway. Good thing, because it looks mighty fierce. He looks HUGE, and I can't have something like that trying to bite me while I'm sleeping. Bravo for taming that monster. Nice video. Later.

[shawnlromarine]

Lizards R incredible wonderful SMART creations of god* I absolutely adore them.

[Tinkerlove13]

I never saw such a big Salamander!

You sure that little dude isn't a baby alligator? LOL

He is a cutie :-)

I have Lizards all over the back & front yard; but no Salamanders. I wish I did have a few.

[AnnyaMoon]

lol Tinker, I know he does look like a baby alligator.

[zenhill]

nice salamander, thats a pretty interesting pet, its cool.

[BattlefieldDoktor]

Awesome animal, I didn't knew their skin is glittering like this. Looks absolutely aweoms!

[AnnyaMoon]

Yes thier skin is real smooth, and shiney when wet.

[DiariesOfAMadHalfJap]

[AnnyaMoon]

I am not sure about those 2 hun, but anyway thats where I seen you. :) Your a sweetheart.

[goldangel77]

ty that means a lot to me

[JadedIllusions27]

Okay this is a stupid question...but are they slimy? I would be scared of it LOL I just have never really been around them that much. He has beautiful skin though.

[AnnyaMoon]

lol I understand. Actually no, thier not slimey. Feels kinda like a persons skin only very thin. Like the skin around sushi rolls, if you ever felt that.

[JadedIllusions27]

Well that is really interesting. I learn something cool every day :o)

[donnuh]

its soo cute, it reminds me soo much of my gecko, lol and my gecko thinks my fingers are worms!! lol

[highheadjester]

WOW Hes very cool!!! and I looked up tiger salamander on google just to compare... and thats what I would think he is. There were alot of diffrent colored tiger salamanders!! ... I loved the vid 5*'s ~HiGH HeaD JeSTeR~

[AnnyaMoon]

Thanks Jester, I think your right. Hey nice to see you dropping by!

[Reebbo]

Looks like some type of Tiger Salamander to me. They come in such a huge variety of colors. But I would have to say size more than anything makes me think it is a Tiger. Most other types salamanders don't get nearly that big.

[AnnyaMoon]

Thankyou Dylan. Yes hes a huge one isnt he?! =) He did change color over time, he had a more yellow underbelly when he was younger. I got him as a young adult, so not sure what he looked like as a baby.

[Methadone4Life]

Unique creature..very beautiful. Nature is so wonderful. Have you seen the series Planet Earth..just got the DVD series...amazing footage and cinematography! Reason I mention that is because in one segment they were showing these giant salamanders...7 feet long! Amazing. If anyone hasnt watched that series..check it out..even if you have the DVD is awesome!

[AnnyaMoon]

Hi Hugh, Ill have to check that out. Did they just enlarge the salamander in the series Planet Earth or use an actual one that is 7 foot long? Because thier are ones in asia somewhere that do grow that big. It was very shocking to me when I seen one!!

[JuanFri]

That's a cool pet you got there.

[AnnyaMoon]

Thankyou JuanFri!

[gothictier]

It's an Eastern Tiger Sal.

Gorgeous! =)

[AnnyaMoon]

Thankyou, I think he is quite a prize specimin myself!

I feel funny worrying about him biting me and you have a 4 ft croc with teeth! lol I just didnt want an incedent because while hes not vicious by anymeans they mistake fingers for worms and when they latch on they dont like to let go.

Ok so you also say he is a Tiger Salamander. I appreciate the responce gothictier! I was hoping youd see my "lizard" that I told you about when I was checking out your croc vids.

[kateam1975]

absolutely beautiful :)

[AnnyaMoon]

Thankyou Kate! ((hugs))

[debstef]

Cute as a button!!Very attractive.

[AnnyaMoon]

Thanks for dropping by debstef. I know, doesnt he have such a cute smile?! lol Hes a healthy boy.

[debstef]

Almost doesnt look real! Just add water

[HeadlessFatLady]

OMG! lol I didn't think so either :) It is so shiny and blends with the sheen of the background hehe. Hiya salamander! *waves*

[schoolmaster45]

It looks like maybe a Blue-spotted Salamander, most Tiger salamenders have yellow markings, not real sure though. Is he going to be your pet? What are you feeding it?...

[AnnyaMoon]

Ive had this salamander for about 4 years. (They live a long time and are very hearty.) He has a mate also that looks like him. They eats crickets and earthworms. They have eaten tiny feeder goldfish from thier little pond in ther aquarium too.

Yes tigers can have yellow then they can turn darker green with age. Kinda varys.

I also have a smaller species called blue spotted. That one has turqouise blue spots on his underbelly

[leiab620]

Aww, he's cute. I had a bearded dragon once, that's as brave as I could get! A worm killer, seriously. He can't help it that he's higher up on the food chain! People, people, people.

[AnnyaMoon]

Oh I know. I seen a guy get blasted over an earth worm. People wanted it to be set free unharmed! lol

Bearded dragons are cool. :)

[Duchova]

It's all wet!

[AnnyaMoon]

Yes they really shouldnt be handled dry, it doesnt feel good to them. Salamanders live in marshes and have to keep thier skin from drying out. On a dry tray he wouldnt have been able to scoot around so fluidly, he would stick. :) Thanks for watching.

[Lethesunshine]

Pretty cool! How's your baby Sandy doing? Looks like she's resting. What a sweetie!

(((Hugs))) ~Mimi~

[AnnyaMoon]

Hi Mimi. Yep thats Sandy resting on the couch behind me. Shes doing fairly well, staying cool and comfy. =)

[sugarandlance]

sala what? OMG! EEEK! HELP! What in the hell! sala what? OMG GET IT AWAY! LILLI HELP!

[AnnyaMoon]

LOL Justin!

You mean your a boy who doesnt like "lizards" .. But hes so cute with that big grin dont ya think? =)

Nooo your kitty Lilli cant see, she would probaly be quite fascinated tho.
