I just got a newly morphed spotted salamander this past weekend. He has adjusted well and eats wax worms and crickets without a problem, granted his food hops or wriggles in front of his face. His terrarium is setup with moist coco fiber substrate, some old leaves, a small swimming hole he can immerse in, and a driftwood house with moss in it.
The thing is I may have created too good of a hideout from him. The only time he comes out is after 3am. If I stay up late enough he will swim and walk around. Is this normal? Do any of you think that I have created too good of a hiding space for him? The room i keep him in is quiet and dark. Would a black light be good for observing his nocturnal activity?
HELP...sorry I am new to caring for this species.
