I am thrilled to offer offsprings from my beautiful pair of Aneides lugubris. I raised the adults from small juveniles three years ago and the magic happened this year, the one with speckles is the father and the spotless one is the female.
I keep all my salamanders in my basement in New York. Summer temp is around 71f and drops to 55f in the winter. Humidity in the basement also varies from ~85% in the summer to ~60% in the winter. I keep the pair of adults in a 10g with 3/4 of the lid covered with plastic wrap to increase humidity in the warmer months, and removes the wrap to expose half of the lid through the colder months, I mist the tank twice a week in the summer and twice per month in the winter. I mainly use coconut fiber as substrate mixed with pine chips, leaf litter, broken twigs, sphagnum moss. Almost half of the tank is filled with substrate and a thick blanket of oak leaves is scattered on top. I use oak bark from trees in my backyard as hides for them by stacking the bark one above the other to offer the most variations in humidity. They are fed dusted crickets, waxworms, houseflies, and very occasionally earthworms.
I discovered the eggs from a routine checkup on them in August this year, and the eggs hatched out with the parents on September 13th. I kept the offsprings in the same enclosure with the adults for them to exchange beneficial bacteria(Thanks Tim Herman). I feed them dusted melanogaster fruit flies 3 times a week. The babies have grown quite a bit since hatching, at least way more than an inch upon writing this, they should be ready to take 1/4 crickets in a few weeks.
I am offering the babies $100 each plus shipping, you can contact me at
