A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Found in my barn when I moved a watering tub just before a major winter storm. Very lethargic. No chance he would be able to find suitable shelter so I put him in an aquarium. Eventually began feeding him worms and bugs. By the time it was warm weather, he was accustomed to hand-feeding. I ended up having him for almost 10 years before he died.
Dark, moist places, see them frequently in my barn in wet warm weather.
A. tigrinum is not found in the TX panhandle. The only salamander we have here is A. mavortium.
