Set up is fine but he needs a pool of water they need to submerge they drink through their skin. Also don't just feed them meal worms these have a hard outside shell and are hard for salamanders to digest. Switch it up with crickets, earthworms, and cockroaches keep them on a balanced diet and feed your insects good food as well such as lettuce and carrots. Like I said pool of water very important they urinate in the water as well so keep it clean change it daily.

What you are doing is illeagle; that salamander should be let go; people like you are making these animals go extinct; find a salamander and keep it; it is wrong. let it go; it doesn't deserve life in a box; it's used to having all the space it wants. It may be in better condition with you then in the wild, but now it can't reproduce and make more in the wild. Don't you see? for every 1 salamander YOU take, it makes it so that over 100 little babies won't be born in the wild. Thnx 4 'helping'.

@321Bizzare it has a new tank its in a 10 gallon and if i left it where i found it it would be dead because it was traped in a window well and almost dryed out.......

[GeckoGarage]

@321Bizzare if it is that important for you guys or girls i will make a video of me letting him go....

@321Bizzare They aren't "illegal to keep." People like you wayyyy overeact. I agree to some extent, if you want a pet salamander it would be better to get a captive bred one from the pet store, but a kid keeping one salamander is not going to make them go extinct. But from the sound of it, you seem to be agaisnt any pets. Also, jefferson sals are not protected in the majority of their range. They are super common.

God, stop picking on him and making him feel bad about bieng interested in herps, " for one salamander that's 100 little babies" shutup! You don't even know if it's a male or female, and he can breed salamanders if he wants and let the baby's go into the wild it's not like he's gonna keep freakin 100, I understand your concern in the population status but what you said is taking it to far, hell, the salamander has a better chance of living in an awesome care free all you can eat buffet tank tha

@GeckoGarage good idea! I happily support wild animals going back into the wild 8-}

@GeckoGarage that does not justify keeping it. I know many people like you... accept they'd help it out, rehabilitate it, and let it go again in a safer location; not put it in a box (a tank is a box) and keep it. As I said before, you taking one salamander from the wild prevented over 100 babies from being born. On the bright side, at least it's not dead. My final point, is that they are dying out... permanately. It is ilegal to keep them, and that it deserves a better life then what it has.

@GeckoGarage look it, i don't mean to be rude; but i hate to see a happy salamander taken from it's home, and shoved in a box. It is not right, and you know it. Every year, this species of salamander travels over 100 feet under ground. Now, it's got a box no bigger then 5 feet. Great. You seem to push off the fact that what you are doing is ilegal. also, this species is one of the most protected animals, yet thier population is still dropping.
