@2dicone nah it does no real harm to anything. it just makes a bad taste in the mouth of whatever thinks it might try to eat the salamander.

Hey i have3 a ? How do you take care of a spotted ssalamander cause i found mine in my basement what do they eat and ehat are there habitate

@lazymut

I agree. In just rescued 2 of these from the bottom of an abandoned pool behind an abandoned house in Arizona. Everything I read so far in handling them was completely opposite from how this woman handled the salamander.

I guess we should be glad he wasn't stressed enough to drop his tail on video.
