I've been fascinated by reptiles and amphibians since childhood and I've been working with them since 1995. I've been helping with their pets for more than 15 years via my websites and blogs and in person.

they are endangered so it’s illegal to buy in most countries. At least in Canada it’s illegal to buy and sell them. But they live only a few miles from where I live so we caught one in the wild.

I’ve had one for 12 years in a humid terrarium with sphagnum moss and a little pool; I’ve fed him Reptomin – but always by hand, can’t get him to take it if I just put it in there.
Very healthy and very friendly – believe it or not, these salamanders like attention!

No you can’t because the salamander likes humid, and the gecko doesn’t they both have diff. setups, heating, all that, Err, you can’t really keep anything with it, other than like another compatible salamander

i’ve watched all of your videos and its not that i didn’t like them, they were very informational, but they didn’t answer the question i wanted to find out.
can i put the salamander in the same cage as a gecko, or other pet, and what are its natural enemies and that sort of thing.

how are they …
how are they domesticated? they cant do anything to you(as they are in a tank and cant leave water) does that make them domesticated? Are fish domestic? becuase they are like fish…. reptiles are not domestic pets they dont do anything for us except give is pleasure. Domestic animals do something for us… dogs were for hunting and horses are used for all kinds of things = your relly dumb if you think there domestic
definition: ‘converted or adapted to domestic use’
Herper666 says

Herper666 says

A lot of the tiger …
A lot of the tiger salamanders are illegal on the pet trade, the laws just aren’t enforced as well as they should be, they’re more worried about teenagers smokin a little pot here and there. Do some reading on the topic before you claim to be an expert wise .
joanna21786 says
There are hundreds …
There are hundreds of the endangered Neurergus kaiseri being exported every year as well. The reason? They’re highly sought after. And YES they are endangered in some ranges, it’s only certain subspecies, but hey if people can get a few extra bucks that’s all that matters to them. Why don’t you do a bit of research before posting your dumbass questions?
joanna21786 says
Umm, they actually …
Umm, they actually CAN be domesticated! Look at the axolotl and the African clawed frog! those are two perfect examples of domesicated amphibians.

Thank you! I feel better.
I was told this by a woman that the Petco employees and the police officer she called decided was too zealous and misinformed. However, I never planned to keep it as a pet as it was a wild salamander hanging out in a bad place- a carport on a busy street. But, we had to take it to a wildlife center to have documentation and bloodwork taken. Then my son and his friends released it in an area recommended by the people at the center.

no there not! Its not illegla to keep them as pets in europe and a lot of america. They are becoming rare and thats why captive breeding is really trying to press thorugh with them. If it was illegal they wouldnt be picked up for the pet trade….. hundreds are shipped to eurpoe etc
