Ready for first salamander

[josh]

I'm getting ready to keep my first Salamander. I am going to keep Northern Redback salamanders. I have a tank set up already and am just waiting until fall to catch some. I have a 10 gallon aquarium set yp already with soil, rocks, moss and some live plants. I've been waiting for two years to keep a salamander. I will be feeding them beetles, termites, fruit flies, chopped worms and pillbugs. If anyone has kept this species and has some tips I would appreciate it.

you sound very prepared, unlike a lot of people, make sure you red this if you havn't

Thanks
