I thought some of you might enjoy seeing pics of a REAL salamander, instead of a SallyMander. :D

This is Little Mac, my spotted salamander. I just made him a new paludarium (half land, half water). He seems to like it so far, or at least he likes the crickets i put in there!


Little Mac





Mmmm, a cricket!





NOM!





Happy 'mander

(By DU law,The pretty bug is dedicated to my buddy buddhamama)

[SallyMander]

14. Awww, purdy

I won't let Little Mac get that one. :D

[Guava Jelly]

16. He probably will get taken out by a spider.

The bush he was on had several very big spiders in it.
I tore apart the webs and Removed (with out killing) a very large Spider from it.

2. When I was a kid I used to love watching tree frogs eat crickets

or a muppet or something... their little mouths are so goofy. :D

4. Aww he really does look happy

I really like salamanders best of all amphibians....:)

[SallyMander]

8. Me too! Why do frogs get all the press?

I mean, they're cute too, but salamanders are way more charismatic IMHO. :D

9. Dang it, now I'm hungry.

[SallyMander]

10. LOL!

Little Mac will share, but you have to be quick. :P

:hi:

[DarkTirade]

11. I had to learn how to catch those buggers

because inevitably one or two would get loose and start chirping all over the house.

[SallyMander]

12. I just had one escape on me

Luckily i scooped him up before he scuttled under the dresser!

[DarkTirade]

17. Just gotta learn to hunt the same way the reptiles and amphibians do...

the minute you see movement, focus in on it. Watch it. Wait for it. Then... POUNCE.

:P

[redwitch]

15. I have a cricket in my car.

I kind of enjoy the company. But if you're really hungry...

[DarkTirade]

18. Nah, I wouldn't eat your carpool buddy.

:P

[redwitch]

19. Do you think I can use the HOV lane now?

Since I'm carpooling. :-)

[DarkTirade]

24. Only if I don't get too hungry.

:P

[ThomCat]

22. Very cute.

In a moist, not really cute kind of way. :P

I can't believe I never saw one before until you posted pictures here.

[SallyMander]
