[SatanicIntention]

Awwwuh! They really DO love you, April! How sweet!


LoL, they are very cute little guys, regardless of their visciousness

The little one shakes like a dog playing tug of war as he tries to down my finger.

What do they usually get for dinner - besides you? I see a ladybug and was wondering if that was one the menu or just flying through.

[lostboi]

Nice tigers! Where did you find them? We had a few of them growing up, we found the 1st one in the skimmer box of our pond. We kept her and named her Sally, go figure! We had another, Alex that we found a year later. They lived together until Alex died. I have since moved away from home, my mother still feeds Sally regularly. She lives in a 20L, looks a lot like a turtle enclosure. He has to be at least 7 years old now, given we found her 7 summers ago. She eats mealworms, we were told to pinch the heads before we fed them to her, otherwise they (the worms) could munch through the stomach of the salamanders.



Good luck!

The ladybug was just a passerby (we get swarmed by the darn things). They normally eat lobster roaches and mealworms. The mealworm eating through stomach thing is a complete myth. Drop a mealy in water and it immediately starts to writhe in death throes.. imagine it munching on the intestinal lining while swimming in digestive juices! No way.

These guys were bought, not found. The small spotted one is mine, and the big chunker is my friend's that I am taking care of for her.

Awesome pics. It doesn't hurt when they bite; it gives me the chills though! Makes me miss my tiger sal; donated him to a pet store for display purposes. I still see him every so often though!

How darn cute are they! Hey Shelby you need a sign on your property though, something to the effect of "Guard Salamanders on Duty" LOL
