Awesome catch! I keep salamanders too! Plethodon cylindraceus is the most common one around here besides desmognathus fuscas.

I rescued one of these guys from ants. He is missing a foot and some toes, but he seems to be fine right now.

I found it at the perfect place for a salamander, basically salamander haven... but this guy was dry and far from the water... also getting attacked by tiny ants. I just took him home to help him a bit. When he was crawling around again I let him go to his little home again.

Nice to know you cared for the little guy

I wish I could find things like these around here

This species never bores me

Great pics and great find! Always an exciting discovery (I've found maybe 2 myself, among the 1000s of other newts and salamanders I've found, caught, or reared over the years)

Indeed! Even though these guys are semi-common in my area, finding one always excites me

I'm jealous!

I'm jealous!

Hopefully you'll find a breeding site for this species soon

Awesome! Salamanders are one of my favorites. I use to remember going to the pet store every week to see if they have some waterdogs (salamander larvae) for sale.

Same here. Salamanders are pretty much the only amphibian I like. lol

I've never seen salamanders in pet stores before. Would be quite interesting to see some in my local pet shops
