Spotted Salamander
hello! i joined this site after looking for information about my spotted salamander! i raised him from a larva! i'm hoping he'll grow up big and strong ^_^
the metamorphosed pics are actually him, the larval picture may be a sibling. i actually had two, both of them started off as little yellowish brown ones. the larval picture shows near metamorphosis.

Hello amkid247 and welcome!

I love the pics of your salamanders, great job raising them so far!

There isn't a specific caresheet for these great salamanders but you might find some great info in the Ambystoma section of the forum.

Enjoy and good luck!

He's a cutie and a beauty.
 
That really is a beautiful maculatum - almost makes mine jealous ;)

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
