The thing with tigers is that they’re a type of mole salamander, and spend much of their time underground. Checking under logs is a good place to start, or looking for vernal pools in the spring.

Found a tiger sally once, but didn’t keep it. My cousins found one last summer stuck in a rocky window well, and I saved him from being cat food. Meet Slimothy: Where are you geographically? Also what kind are you looking for, as their preferred habitats can range quite a bit.

https://dwr.virginia.gov/wildlife/salamanders/salamander-virginia-regulations/ should give you everything you need to know about legal stuff around salamanders in Virginia. I wish I could go herping, but all there is around my city is tiger salamanders (very rare), wood frogs (really common)...

No sounds, and suspected male. I have a female with him who is currently developing eggs, I kind of assumed he would be doing so too if he were female.

So in the spring,I usually collect a couple of the local wood frogs left to die after their last year of breeding. This guy has been with me since last spring, with no other health issues. Recently he started arching his hips way over his back, which was odd, but he seemed otherwise fine, and...

I’ve felt this too, and it’s part of why I’m looking into fields where I would be working with different herps. All of the members with armies of chams are in a more stable place (financially as well as physically) than you or I - I know you care about peach fuzz a lot, and you would be a...

Not worth it IMO. Real plants give no chance of impaction, boost humidity, and look better. If it’s just a fake vine with no leaves, as long as it’s not rubber it should be fine. I wouldn’t risk it, and you wouldn’t save much anyway.

With proper lights, and a little more depth, that could be an awesome free-range

Good to know, guess you just have a special little guy. Beautiful enclosure, btw.

This was posted September 15 last year… probably found a home already. If you’re looking to get a chameleon, check out the site sponsors.

Typically chams want to stay in the enclosure.. if they want to come out that means the enclosure is too small/not enough cover.

Might have to change your username lol

Pretty sure you have a girl. If you keep her diet strict enough, you won’t need to worry about egg laying. Panthers are also not as piggy as veiled girls. Dracaenas are great plants for enclosures, and while they may grow quickly, you can always chop off the top.

Human too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

If you post some pics, members can confirm a gender. It is also worth noting that sometimes, though rare, females can develop heel spurs.

I was thinking similar to porcupines, they don’t flick their “hair”, but it hurts just the same.

To be fair, some reptiles and mammals have similar defence mechanisms

Late to the thread, but it looks AMAZING! I love the natural look. One thing, though: alocasias are actually toxic, and if the future resident is a plant-nibbler you might want to take it out: https://www.gardenguides.com/126992-poisonous-alocasia.html

That’s why I’m looking more into a red-knee or rosehair. The more ornamental species are beautiful, though.
