Eurycea guttolineata

[guy]

I am thinking of getting a couple of Eurycea guttolineata but have found no information on the internet or this site about how to care or house them, so i am wondering if anyone here has any information about them?

I'm not personally familiar with the species, but I would guess that their care would be similar to some other Eurycea:

Hi Guy

I don't know much in this area but do know that you can fit 2 or 3 in a 10 gallon tank

Guy --

Three-lined salamanders are relatively small. I kept three E.cirrigera in a 2.5 gallon comfortably. I had them in a 10 gallon for a period of time but found that it was actually too big. If you're looking to start a colony, a 10G would be fine, but you can use a smaller tank, 2.5 or 5 for 3-5 of them.

Well, I wouldn't call them small for a Eurycea. They can be between 4 and 6.25 inches in length with the record of a little over seven inches (almost twice the size of you cirrigera Dot). I have kept them like longicauda which is a little more terrestrial than the links Jen provided but otherwise the same.
