Marbled Salamander care

[lauren]

I'm thinking about buying a marbled salamander from a local herp store, and I was wondering if there is anything I should be aware of besides what's on the fact sheet. I have a juvenile axolotl at the moment - is there anything I should worry about as far as diseases? My axolotl boarded at the same store for over a week recently and came back healthy and well fed. I also don't intend for them to be kept in the same room.

Also, how much handling can a marbled salamander take?

Thanks Mike!

There aren't any salamanders native to this part of the state, but since marbled do live in the north, I checked it out. Looks free and clear.

Florida - in the south. All the salamanders are 4 hours north going 70 mph.
