Question
My boyfriend and I just found a salamander. We put him in 10 gallon tank with gravel, a good sized rock, and a log. We also set up a bubbler for it in there to. we fill the tank like 30 percent full. so that the salamander could get on the rock and breath. we have no idea what to feed him or how high the water can be or anything. Fill us in on alot of infomation about our salamander. we found him in a creek under a rock. Have no idea what kind he is or anything. PLease help.

Answer
Hi Ashley,
Thanx for your question.  I am not an expert on amphibians just watergardening.  However, I would like to try and help you sooo, here's a website from Petco that discusses care of salamanders.  I hope it helps.
