Hello all. kind of an odd situation i'm in right now. Yesterday night it was pretty cold outside, it was around 35 degrees last night. Anyway as my girlfriend went outside to smoke, our pug noticed somehting on her way out. The salamander was curled up laying next to our sliding door (We live on the bottom floor of an appartment building) the dog sniffed it real quick but the sal did not move. I thought it was dead, but uppon closer inspection it was not. I scooped him/her? onto a piece of paper and brought it inside. I put him in a gladware thing as it was the most suitable thing I could find to put it in.

Anyway, after a half hour or so it started moving around a bit. I went and got it some crickets to eat. Anyway, I'm not quite sure where exactly it lives, as there is some construction around the appartments. I want to find the best place to release it so it can servive the winter ( do they have problems in cold climates w/ snow?) I went out and got a 60quart container and some organic nothing added top soil. Anyway, the sal seems to be 'up to par' health wise again, but I don't want it to freeze to death or anything like that. What should I do? I can take more pictures if you guys want
thanks, mike.
