![]() Which one would you recommend -- marbled salamander or tiger salamander -- if I wanted a salamander that I'll see moving about its enclosure at least some of the time? I know all salamanders will be secretive, but I'm not interested in something that's going to be burrowed 100% of the time. And what's your experience with each? Thank you for your thoughts and time! |

Thanks for the great info. Whenever possible I like to adopt/buy pets from people are trying to find new homes for, and a marbled salamander came up in my neck of the woods. I had always thought about getting a tiger salamander, so I wasn't well-versed in marbled salamander care/behavior. It's rare to come across tiger salamanders (or any, really) for sale locally.

I have two Marbled Salamanders that i really enjoy. Very easy to care for and however i never see mine unless its feeding time. They really do stay hidden most of the time. As long as you watch temps and keep them well feed with good substrate they aren't very hard to keep.

I have 3 Opcaum now, my original one is quite secretive although I always see her at night when she is active. When I first got her she was always on view and would eat from my fingers but she seems to be fed up of me now and has taken on more natural fossorial behaviour!. She is in an enclosure with a slightly smaller female who is much more visible and doesn't burrow as much, seems happy to wait at the entrance of cork bark tunnels for any passing bugs.
My smallest one is on her own and is the most outgoing, can usually catch her out walking around the terrarium at night, I haven't kept this species before so I have no idea if they become more reclusive as they get older, mine certainly seem that way though. None of them are as shy as I thought they would be going off what I read about them online, I suppose it helps if they are somewhere you can view them at night in low light. |
