Temperature?

[Puddlenewts]

Now that winter is coming, I was wondering what is a good temperature to keep my baby salamanders? and should i use a heating lamp? I do not have a heater in my room and I live in north Idaho where it gets pretty cold. Any help is greatly appreciated

No heat is necessary. These guys hibernate in the wild, so in your house i imagine it wont be any colder Just add a small area for him to go under the substrate - a PVC pipe going into the ground should work well.

Yup, salamanders generally thrive in lower temperatures. I can't imagine your house getting any colder than 60 degrees F, and even so, salamanders in general would be fine with lower temperatures than that.
