For your viewing pleasure. A mystical animal that roams the redwood forests of northern California. I present to you....
The Pacific Giant Salamander
If you ever get the chance to go herping in NorCal, you MUST add this to your list. Grows to about 12", but has been seen at lengths of 16"-18". This little critter has razor sharp teeth and saliva that will fester and burn the gruesome wound it leaves behind. This particular specimen is Eclipse. He likes long naps in a deep pool and short walks to the fridge. Eats mice, worms, fish, and whatever he can devour. Of course in captivity it's just mice, super worms, and goldfish. Not exactly a pet type creature, but very nice centerpiece for experienced keepers.

I had him in a half water, half land enclosure. This particular species does very well in either a total water setup or total land setup. Extremely hardy, but also aggressive.

I like it, is there any sort of CB/CBB market for these guys. I live on the East Coast, so getting a Nor Cal sally is pretty much non existent.
