Fire Salamander - Red for Sale

Adult Red Fire Salamanders (Salamandra terrestris) 

This is an actual photo of the specimens we have available for sale.

Description: Depending on the type of Fire Salamander you have, their dorsum colours tend to be a glossy black with bright yellow blotches on their bodies. This yellow colouration varies between the species and is usually the way that the sub-species are differentiated from each other.

They are quite stocky salamanders with long tails and visible parotoid glands in the area behind their protruding eyes.

Size: Fire Salamanders generally grow to between 18 to 25cms (7-10inches) in length, but it is not unknown for them to reach 30cms (12inch) in some cases.

Life span: Captive Fire Salamanders can live up to 30 years with appropriate care.

Origin: Fire salamanders are found throughout Central and Southern Europe, into West Asia and Northern Africa.

Habitat: The Fire Salamander has two specific phases in its life cycle, which both determine the habitat that they are found in. The larvae are entirely aquatic, living in ponds and shallow lakes. Adults are terrestrial and only return to the water for breeding purposes. They can be found burrowing in the forest floor and hiding in the undergrowth and under logs and stones. They are hardly ever seen out in the open and prefer their habitat to be damp and cool.
