How did they get there? What kind of place do you live in (not offensiveley. I meant near any water source or not. LOL:laugh<img align="absmiddle" src="http://board.reptilechannel.com/Skins/Reptile/Images/EmotIcons/Smile.gif" border="0" title="Smile">. And did it just rain before you found them? In alabama, the only place I've seen a wild salamander (and caught it) was in a brook in northern alabama. I've never actually been herping for salamanders before, but that was the only place I found and caught a wild salamander in my life.</P><P>here's a pic of it and the place I caught it. It's a souther two lined salamander.</P><P><img onload = "resizeThis(this)" style="WIDTH: 609px; HEIGHT: 459px" height=2174 src="http://board.reptilechannel.com/Uploads/Images/5a382672-f042-416f-bdf6-b349.JPG" width=3062></P><P><img onload = "resizeThis(this)" style="WIDTH: 979px; HEIGHT: 451px" height=1805 src="http://board.reptilechannel.com/Uploads/Images/53439156-b1bd-4dd2-b05a-9c16.JPG" width=2812>Tue, 15 Dec 2009 17:42:46 GMTA.M herpsRE: I found six dark reddish brown salamandars...http://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic105073-5-1.aspxgood luck with the babies! i love salimandersMon, 14 Dec 2009 17:27:26 GMTbenandmaxRE: I found six dark reddish brown salamandars...http://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic105073-5-1.aspxYes they are, if you can re-locate them to a nice little pond or water area. You might establish a breeding spot.Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:30:27 GMTherpsrule13RE: I found six dark reddish brown salamandars...http://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic105073-5-1.aspxWell, I got an email back from the Washington Herp Atlas, and they're going to include my find in next years maps and stuff. She said it was very interesting that I found them, as they normally spend most of their lives underground. She said she's guessing these are juveniles that were just dispersing. </P><P>I'll see if they're interested in a cricket, then let them go today.</P><P>Pretty cool little critters though!Thu, 29 Oct 2009 10:26:56 GMTPoisonRE: I found six dark reddish brown salamandars...http://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic105073-5-1.aspxYou could try blood worms. I have very little experience with salamanders but the few I have seen seemed to have a deep love for blood worms.Thu, 29 Oct 2009 08:40:55 GMTSinkarnateRE: I found six dark reddish brown salamandars...http://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic105073-5-1.aspxWell, salamanders can eat crickets, maybe some chopped earth worms. Meal worms might not be a good idea</P><P>pictures would help in identificationThu, 29 Oct 2009 05:07:03 GMTherpsrule13I found six dark reddish brown salamandars...http://board.reptilechannel.com/Topic105073-5-1.aspxthey were all in one place, hangin' in the rainwater collected in a dog water bowl... brought them inside for a little observation.... wondering what tehy eat? Tried worms, not interested (probably the whole captivity thing)...</P><P>I think they're northwestern salamandars. All appear to be juveniles... no more than 4 inches long each.Thu, 29 Oct 2009 02:14:26 GMTPoison
