Hi guys,
I was at the Oaks reptile show today and planned to get some frogs to set up a colony so I can scent mouse pinkies with frog secretions to feed young vipers.
I found two great big, adorable frogs, and I also saw some fire salamanders. I'd never seen such large, beautiful salamanders, so I asked if one could be housed with the frogs and the vendor said yes.
I have a dumpy tree frog, a white-lipped tree frog and the gravid female fire salamander. They are in a large Exo-Terra in my viper room, which ranges up to about 75-78F during the day and drops to 70-73F at night.
I have a water substrate with moss "islands" and several fake plants for climbing on.
A misting system is set to mist for 8 seconds every 4 hours to keep things humid and provide fresh drinking water.
Any other suggestions? I know crickets are good food for the frogs, and that I can get some blood worms from a bait shop for the salamander. Any other good food items? This is my first foray into salamanders, and I'd like her to do well for me. She's very pretty!
