I AM A 61 YR. OLD RETIRED POLICE OFFICER WHO HAS ALWAYS HAD A LOVE OF REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS. MY DAUGHTERS AND I RAISED A 'TIGER SALAMANDER' AS A FAMILY PET FOR OVER FIFTEEN YEARS. MY YOUNGEST GIRL (ABOUT TWELVE AT THE TIME) WAS EXCITED TO COME ACROSS IT IN A PILE OF LEAF LITTER ONE FALL. WE DESIGNED A LARGE AQUARIUM TO SERVE AS AN ENVIRONMENT THAT WAS AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE ONE THAT HE HAD BEEN LIVING IN. ALL OF THE MATERIALS IN HIS TERRARIUM CAME FROM WHERE WE FOUND HIM. HE LIVED WITH US FOR MANY YEARS.
IF WE COULD FIND ANOTHER 'TIGER SALAMANDER WE WOULD LOVE TO BRING ANOTHER SALAMANDER INTO OUR LIVES. I CURRENTLY HAVE TWO RED EARED SLIDER TURTLES' WHO HAVE BEEN IN MY CARE FOR NEARLY TWENTY YEARS. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN POND THAT TAKES MUCH OF THEIR OWN 'TURTLE ROOM'. OUR SALAMANDERS WOULD OF COURSE HAVE THEIR OWN SEPARATE ENCLOSURE, APART FROM OUR TURTLES.
AT THE CURRENT TIME I AM STILL AT THE PLANNING AND SETTING UP STAGE FOR MY NEXT SALAMANDER. I AM ALSO CURRENTLY BRUSHING UP ON SALAMANDER CARE FROM THE LIBRARY THAT I HAVE BUILT UP OVER THE YEARS.
I HOPE TO LEARN FROM THE OTHER MEMBERS OF "CAUDATA.ORG" WHO HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE RAISING AND EVEN BREEDING SALAMANDERS. I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OF YOUR MEMBERS WOULD HAVE ANY HELPFUL IDEAS ON KEEPING SALAMANDERS HEALTHY AND SAFE IN AN IMPROVISED HOME TERRARIUM ENVIRONMENT.
I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW IF ANY OF YOUR MEMBERS WOULD HAVE ANY IDEAS TO 'LEGALLY' PROCURE A SALAMANDER IN THE PROVINCE OF 'ALBERTA' (PREFERABLY A 'TIGER' SALAMANDER).
THANK YOU FOR YOUR IDEAS.

Any particular reason for the shouting?
