Welcome to Salamandridae.com!

Here is a brief overview of what our community has to offer...

1. Salamandridae.com is built on first hand, applied knowledge. I believe that resource books are very valuable, but nothing compares to having the advice of someone who has, or is, currently keeping the species YOU are seeking information on.
2. Salamandridae.com will be a community where people are encouraged to share new husbandry strategies. ( ex. "If you plan to keep your newts in a tub on a shaded porch...", Please let us now how it went!)

This article was written as a brief introduction to the species, not as a full care sheet.

This North American newt reaches a length of approximately 5.5". The dorsal coloration varies from olive green to shades of brown. The ventral is always bright yellow with black peppering specks.

This newt's range consists of the entire Eastern United States from Canada, south to Florida. There are many subspecies, but none are as common or widespread as N. V. V.

HOUSING
Adults
Eurycea longicauda is a long and slender salamander that averages around 4-6.25 inches with the tail making up most of their total length. Long-tailed salamanders can be either housed terrestrial or semi-aquatic. This is one species I really recommend giving a very naturalistic setup to. Temperatures should be at 63F or under.
