My name is John. I go by Cricket.
I grew up hunting and keeping Tiger salamanders in N.E. Wyoming. I even caught a 13 inch monster once. I still can't believe it got so big that far north. Most of the adult size in that area was 7-9 inches I knew all the best spots and breeding ponds up there. I could hunt all day and bring back buckets full if I chose .
I now live in Kansas. Over the last 15 years I have only found two mole salamanders. They are not normaly found in this area so I left them alone. I have met a bunch of people that remember seeing salamanders around here years ago and several people that claimed to know where to find them now. Every time I've gone hunting I've come home with an empty bucket.
I have two teenagers that have never seen a wild salamander and my oldest has wanted to work with them for a few years. Pet shops in this area are asking crazy high prices for Saly's $40-$50 and I rarely find Tigers. I have found a few in a nearby bait shop but they were all injured by nets or plain unhealthy looking.
If anybody from the Wichita/Newton area has any avalible for sale, or willing to share a few tips on where to look, PLEASE!!! contact me.
Thank you
