Just got a pair of Spotted Salamanders today! They were given to me by someone who couldnt care for them anymore. So I said I would take them! Looking for lots of info on how to care for them properly! They are helping to complete my 'zoo' of a house with 8 dogs!!!

Welcome.

Kudos to you for taking on unwanted pets. That is a very noble action.

hello,
I don't think we have a care sheet for spotted sals specifically but it's basically the same as tigers and many other terrestrial mole salamanders. You can find a tiger sal care sheet here:

Be sure to check out the "Mole Salamanders but not tigers or axolotls (Ambystomatids)" section of the forum for some interesting posts about your Ambystoma maculatum and related species of mole sals
