About a month and a half ago i posted about a salamander a friend had found in her basement the day after the first snowfall here in New England. (GO PATRIOTS!! 
) I had bought a tank and lined it with peat moss and keep it at a cool, damp 65 degrees. Well while i was buying the container the sales person at PETCO said "oh it'll probably die" I had some confidence that i could keep him alive until spring when the wild salamanders come out of hibernation. So far Harold, as we have named him, is doing quite well. He has a little burrow and comes out whenever i step up to the tank. Also I forget who mentioned it but someone said to feed it with some tweezers and that has worked perfectly thank you, sorry i don't remember who. He gets a diet of one reptomin pellet soaked in water (to soften it) an day. I just hope he will be able to make it in the wild when the time comes to release him.
oh, i'm really not sure if its male or female its just easier to think of it as one or the other.
