taking care of a baby salamander?

i found a baby salamander on a blanket in my house… my brother and sister want to keep it… i have a lil tank from previous lizards that lived for years, , the tank is like a foot wide and a foot long and a fot and a half tall, i have leaves and little bark peieces for it…if thats what it needs, i jsut wanted to know a little more about its habitat and food…
idk what kind of salamander it is but its like dark redish and is sorta striped from head to tail…and a really long tail that moves like a snake…
please help, thanx

u need to release them keeping wild caught salamanders is cruel immoral and environmentally reprehensible when a wild animal i removed from its natural environment and put in a confined space it causes massive amounts of stress. this affects herps (reptiles and amphibians) very badly worse than most other orders many die simply from the stress of being in captivity it also weakens there immune system meaning more die from disease. those that survive suffer from stress related behavior disorders, stress related illness and have a shortened life span. there quality of life is pretty bad too
