I'm aware that salamanders tend to take their time when it comes to changing into a terrestrial salamander, but I'm wondering if there are any ways I could make that happen sooner.
Thanks! ?

Why would you want to do that? It's not good for them. There is a method for making axies morph but it shortens their life span.

Their are ways to force them. It stresses the animal and could cause permanent damage or death. I got some tiger salamanders that were forced to metamorphose without my knowledge. They had gill stub problems, fungus problems, and I lost some. I was not a happy camper.

If you wanted it to morph naturally, in the wild they seem to morph sooner with higher temperatures. I would NEVER suggest artificially morphing any salamander, because it dramatically shortens their lifespan and they can get very stressed very easily.
