Not to sound smart-assed, but it's a salamander. You can read more about them
here and
here. There are a few different species.

You could mail order one although I don't endorse buying wild caught animals since it encourages the collection industry (I collected my own, and released him to his original habitat 2 months later since he never got tame). Don't keep salamanders with anything else please - people keep asking and the answer is the same - just don't do it. Sirens will kill smaller fish and larger fish could kill Sirens or do them serious damage.
