Mostly belong to the genus Bolitoglossa and many species are arboreal making them very difficult to detect let alone study. Just wanted to note that salamanders do exist in south america.

You can buy wingless fruitflies or small worms at your local pet store. They will keep him happy and healthy. Rotting wood is also a good source of moisture.

It is brown with black spots and a red stripe down its belly. It is very small (about the length of index finger) and its tail it very long and thin. It has five toes on back feet and four on front. It looks very like a salamander but for the fact it has skin similar to a frog, ie, soft and quite dry looking, certainly not shiny like those in most of the pictures I have seen. Have placed it in vivarium with a heat mat on one side and am feeding it tiny crickets. Have provided water and a cave like shelter which it likes to stay in. Really want to make sure it's OK. Do you think it could be a salamander and am I doing the right things? Thank you!! I have found what I think is a salamander which came with a bunch of bananas from Belize (I live in england).

Really want to make sure it’s OK. Do you think it could be a salamander and am I doing the right things?

Thank you!!
