Rep: lbwinkler is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Re: Feeding a non-captive tiger salamander

I don't mind keeping it, that is not a problem. At this point I am just concerned about it not eating. I'll keep trying, it seems to be doing fine otherwise, although I am not 100% sure its using the water in the enclosure or not. I am making sure that the temps and the moisture are kept with in the standards that I've read about, however I am concerned about the winter. I keep Madagascar Hissing cockroaches and I have a heater used for plant seedlings I place under their rubber made container in the winter to keep them happy, but I've read that under the tank heaters are not safe for the salamanders...nor are heat lamps recommended. If there are any suggestions on that respect I would be happy to hear them :)

Thanks for the advice!
