Reply To: Spotted Salamander paradise

[Stephanie West]

I currently work at a nature center in Ohio and have about 10 yrs of zoo experience. I like to display all of our captives in naturalistic exhibits rather than plain aquariums to help visitors develop a sense of place for our native critters. This design was inspired out of a need to have a way for the public to observe our salamander, while keeping the salamander in an environment where he can feel safe and secure. The design comes with a few husbandry challenges, but overall it has been working beautifully for about three years!
Thanks to critter depot for providing economical, quality feeders for our collection!
