[EBEalienbeing]

[owlking88]

[NTZY1997]

Nice salamanders man,i found some outside my house but its nothing compared to yours.

[Makrillol]

where do you live?

[NTZY1997]

em...really far from u guys,i live in Malaysia,lol

[Makrillol]

here in sweden there are no animals worth having, I have alot of frogs in my backyard but thats about it. there are salamander in my area but ive only seen one like 8 years ago. but they are really small

[onlylust1]

true but dont half of the tiger salamanders come out to those little vegitarian ones and the others turn to carnivores wat if u get a vegitarian one

[mavortium]

No offence but you're talking rubbish. No such thing as a vegetarian salamander.

[pavilj]

Were can i get one as a pet i always wanted one but never can find one in petstores anyplace online that sells them?

[poiboi44andtyler]

how do you get the larvae to go through metamorphasis????

[mavortium]

You don't. It's natural - it happens on its own.

[poiboi44andtyler]

haha thanks

[CnTcorp]

do u know how long it takes? i read that they change when their ponds and pools dry out but i dont want to do that to my larvae.. so i want to knwo how long it takes

[AnimalRescuer268]

HELP! my A.Tigrinum is morphing! I think its day 3. How do I know when to change to a terrestrial environment? How long does metamorphosis take? Do I change his diet? He is starting to just lie on the bottom of the tank, and isn't eating much... What do I do?

[dugongyogurt]

Thanks! I just got my larvae today and its doing great! Just one more question, How much do I feed it?

[mavortium]

About as much as it will eat in 15 minutes. Singular: larva. Plural: larvae. If you have just one it's a larva.

[dugongyogurt]

Hi, I am getting a larvae salamander and was wondering, is it better if you keep them in pairs? and how many months (years?) before the waterdog changes?

[mavortium]

How many you keep together doesn't matter. 1 or 10 is fine as long as there is enough room. In captivity tiger salamanders usually take about 3-5 months from hatching to reach metamorphosis, depending on the climate and the species/subspecies.

[mavortium]

What I mean to say is, salamanders and heat pads don't mix. So no, it's not a heat pad. It's actually a section of plastic I cut out of their lid, and I like to feed them on it to keep them from eating too much substrate along with their food (something that happens with earthworms, for example).

[KATAFRAKT]

Thank you for your kind reply.

It woud have been curious if it was a heat pad, since the salamanders could get burnt

while resting on it.

; )

[KATAFRAKT]

Is this a heat pad on the bottom ?

[elitebionic]

THEY CAN JUMP!?

[mavortium]

You saw it here first.

[Taigacan]

i luvz my tiger sallies

[Taigacan]

mine has stood on 2 legs b 4

[edde799]

That place looks dry you put water in that lately?

[METALLICA94DAVE]

why are yours so active i have had mine for like 8 years and he just dig alot of tunnels and stays under his water dish but he is the biggest one i have seen 14 inches long

[mavortium]

2 reasons:

1- Not all individual tigers become tame - I collected 3 (you see the third at the end) and only two behave like that. This has been my experience time and again over the years.

2- I collected these as 8 cm larvae and raised them to metamorphosis and hand fed them from that moment on. 99% of the tigers people have were caught as adults or adolescents and didn't get this treatment.

[ThisBeAlex]

I have an adult TS, but he is nowhere near as fast as these. Do you know why? He has a large vivarium and I feed him enough

[mavortium]

These guys are hungry and very tame. They get fed about twice a week. See the third one at the end of the video? Not as tame and not as "fast".

[danieloo7weed]

wow i thoght slamanders were always small those look pretty sick

[mavortium]

They're bigger now ;).

[iBarly]
