I have recently aquired a wild-caught Tiger Salamander in early November of this year.
My neighbour found him/her staggering around beside his car on a cold Fall morning. We think we know where he was hybernating, but children have disturbed the log in their front yard.
All indications are that I cannot release the Salamander this year, he will die in the cold, so I have set him up in an aquarium with the required interior decor. He eats waxworms and during the times when my one and only pet store cannot provide the live food, moistened dog kibble. My husband has dubbed him a tiny Alligator due to his voracious appetite and the way he shakes his food before swallowing.
Sal is quite the character and is becoming a beloved pet. It is more then likely that he/she will stay with me for life. I at one time had a wild-caught Rough-skinned Newt that stayed with me for 10 years
I always pride myself in the extensive research that I do on the pets that are in my care, but I can find next to nothing on wild Tiger Salamanders or their care as pets......
How do you sex a Tiger Salamander? I want to give him/her a proper name.
Then today, I found this group
