Species Help

[GeoNewt]

Does anyone have any experience with Plethodon elongatus, Aneides ferreus or Battrachoseps attenuatus?
Thanks, George

Hi George,

I have experience with all three species. How can I help?

 

[GeoNewt]

Sorry for not making myself clearer. I was just wondering whether they make good captives, and what sort of set-up and diet you gave them. Do you have any pictures of their tanks?
Thanks, George.

I keep Batrachoseps. They are pretty straight forward. Make sure you keep the enclosure moist. They are a nice beginner species. I keep 2 of them. They can be pretty fast and feisty, and are escape artists so be prepared. I don't have exact experience with Aneides ferreus (Clouded Salamander) but I keep Aneides lugubris (Arboreal Salamander), I imagine they are similar. For more care info, type in "Aneides care" or "Batrachoseps care" and some things will pop up.

They are a nice beginner species.

I was talking about Batrachoseps attenuatus (CA slender salamander) If you want me to direct you to a caresheet regarding them please ask. You can only find them in CA.

They occur in southwest coastal Oregon as well.
