That's Jen, she can breed and keep just about any sal but a fern? Not quite sure what it takes to keep a plant alive. Good dirt maybe? Dunno. LOL

Hello Cage, I love ferns. They are such a diverse group requiring equally diverse conditions. Some species will grow in water retentive, peaty soil whilst others can grow in the cracks in dry stone walls. Some prefer dappled shade ( this doesn't mean poor light quality) whilst others can be subjected to harsh midday sunshine. The question I must ask, is your salamander enclosure inside or out?
