So i finally got myself a trio of slimy salamanders and i have to say i´m hooked for life. Though i´ve always been more a european/asian caudates person, i had something for plethodontids....but now that i´ve seen them in real life....i want them all xDDDDD
They are two juveniles and a (supposedly) male.
There´s also a pic of their tank. I hope it´s perfectly suitable for them.

It looks fantastic! It does resemble habitats I've found them in.
 
Thank you :)
That´s what i was hoping for...they really seem to enjoy the set-up, with all the posibilities to hide.
 
Nice!

I must agree with Nathan. It looks just like the habitats I find them in. The sals look nice too.
 
Re: Nice!

Very nice setup!!! I'm keeping one P.Cinereus in a viv sort of like yours. Except more plants. But yours is fantastic! I give it 5 stars.
 
What do you feed these guys and how often? I had some morph from their larvae stage and I got them to eat crickets, but i don't want to go to the pet store every two weeks for crickets.

Thanks
 
Earthworms are a perfect food for slimy salamanders and they were the staple diet for mine, however, I have fed them mealworms, termites and various beetle larvae that I find in the woods. I fed mine every two or three days.

Jctkc, i don´t know what you have, but they can´t be Plethodon glutinosus...
P.glutinosus lays eggs on land and there´s no larval phase, they are born already as miniature adults.
 
Rodrigo nice animals! They look amazing! May I ask were did you got those adults?

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
