My Little brother got a salamander from some where (in the area aka IL WI). It looks exactly like the one pictured above in the header (black with white/blue spots). He wasn't looking good when I rescued him. I put him in a 5 gallon Hex tank with gravel, my Bamboo (the tank has standing water on bottom, but it doesn't reach above the gravel), fake plant (hanging from the wall, bowl of water, and a couple of rocks. This tank is opened topped, any risk of it escaping?
The poor guy isn't eating, and I'm not sure how to feed him. My Newt (around 7+ years old, haha.) i just dangle worms or other things in front of him and he attacks them (in fact he almost got my finger). The Salamander just turns away uninterested, and he looks a little thin. Any ideas on how to get this guy back on track and healthy? Any general Specs. on the Species?
