Depends on the subspecies. For Salamandra s. terrestris, in my experience it can be done reliably about 12 cm. Mainly by build - females are more robust/chunkier.

The ones to which I am refering are the nominate form-Salamandra salamandra salamandra. Is it the same method as terrestris?

Thanks,

    I take the eggs out of the tank and put them in a separate smaller tank. When the hatch, feed them with live food. They won’t survive with the parents. They’ll eat them, or their food.
