Hello everyone!
I was wondering if anyone here keeps Aneides spp salamanders? Are they interesting captives? I'm itching to go herping and find these guys fascinating. I want to set up a native paludarium for some newts or sallies and thought these might be cool. As far as I know, Aneides lugubris is not protected outside of protected areas so collection would be legal... but I may be wrong.
If this is a bad idea, what other species would be more interesting (doesn't need to be something I can catch in California, although I'd love to go on a herping expedition).
Thanks,
Niko
