You probably do! I only live in MA, not too far from you. I never saw one in the wild until this one, and now I find out they are all over the place, but i have never seen them before.

 

[Halley]

He's lookin' good!

I had one when I was young. I love those. What a gut, lol.

I have a Baby Tiger Salamander named Watson

Obviously, not native to Alaska!

I'll have to take some updated pics of him, he's amazing looking and has gotten sooo big since I got him a while back.

LOL! Yeah, it a good eater, that's for sure!

 

[Pepper]

Try Tiger Salamanders, my gosh, I swear they would keep eating until they exploded if you let them, they never quit.

 

[Mel&Keith]

I never thought I would say that a Salamander is cute but, wow...that thing is pretty darn cute!

 

[Jeanne]

She's a little BEAUTY!!

I once caught a full grown spotted when I was kid, named it Slimer. lol
I wish I could find another. Been a long long time since I have seen one in the wild. Of course I dont look for them anymore. Probably the main reason I cant find one. lol
Valencia, If you want to find a spotted I am sure you have some in your area. Just look for marshy areas and search in the wooded areas surrounding the marsh.
Spotteds typicaly like to be around marshy areas from what I noticed as a kid.

Looking at that isn't that an Endangered spotted salamander. Back when i was a kid i only ever found one. Other 3 i have seen have been in wildlife centers.

 

[minicopilot]

They are not endangered. Look them up.

 

[2bacop]

What substrate is that?? Just curious i am thinking about getting one

 

[Jeanne]

Spagnum Moss

 

[geckofreak24]

spotted and tiger salamnders usually live in burrows most of the time except during the spring breeding season, that prolly why you dont see them, and there are pretty much salamders in every moist state in the us

 

[thegeckoguy23]

I live in NH right by you and im getting a salamander in the spring

 

[shanerules]

very nice find! i wish i could find salamanders in the wild in missouri. im north of kansas city so we dont find much here.
