Question: So I have Spotted Sals...Adult Housing?

[EmeraldExotics]

My sals are still just larvae and water bound, but I was just wondering what kind of setup to give an adult spotted sal. I want to be prepared for when they morph. I think that may be in the next 4 weeks. I have read up on the species in several places and can only get a description of their natural habitat but not what kind of setup is good in captivity for them.

Thanks!

A.maculatum can be kept in the same manner as most other species of Ambystoma. They are pretty shy though, so having lots of hides is probably a good idea. They are practically identical in care to Tiger salamanders, so, if you haven't read this yet- http://www.caudata.org/cc/species/Ambystoma/A_tigrinum.shtm

I wouldn't bother with any water besides a water dish. I recommend a soil-type substrate, though damp paper towels also work if they are changed frequently.

Thanks! That helps a good bit, though now, thanks to another post I'm not sure I have spotteds anymore...Hmm... I think it might be E. cirrigera ?????
