Tiger Salamander

A tiger salamander is a salamander from the mole salamander family. It is the largest of the mole salamanders it is often kept as a pet because it is easy to care for, and its striking pattern. Tiger salamanders usually eat crickets in captivity but in the wild it will eat anything that can fit in its mouth. You should feed your salamander crickets and pinkie mice a pinkie mouse is a baby mouse frozen and then thawed out for your pet to eat only feed your pet a pinkie mouse as a treat pinkie mice are high in fat. Tiger salamanders can't have tank mates because of their size and appetite the only tank mates that they can have is each other, make sure if you get two they are the same size bigger ones will eat smaller ones you cannot have fish with tiger salamanders also you cannot have other amphibians because of toxins. Tiger salamanders are not aquatic or semiaquatic they are terrestrial, terrestrial means lives on land you should put substrate so your tiger salamander can burrow thats why they are part of the mole family. But for water just put a water dish so your tiger salamander can soak in the water you can use distilled water or tap water treated with aqua safe and also you should mist the soil and the cage. Your tiger salamander should have a ten gallon tank make sure you have a lid so your salamander can't escape. A water dish is important because a tiger salamander needs to soak in the water substrate is important because this salamander likes to burrow plants are not important but it makes the tank look nice.
