Our Pet

In about June Kurtis and i had been talking about his work he was telling me how they see salamanders all the time. So i told him the next time he found one he should bring it home for me. Those of you who knew me as a kid should know this shouldn't be any suprise. So a few weeks later he and his uncle matt climed into one of the man holes and rescued this guy. He has been there for a few years. They figure his egg got washed into the hole and he has never been able to leave since its just a hole. So now he is our pet. So far he doesn't have a name sad i know but he gets regular cleaning (his tank anyway) and lots of crickets. He is a Tiger Salamander from what i can figure and can get up to about 15 inches long. Right now he's probably around 10 or 11''. They can live up to 20 years in captivity so we should hopefully have him for a long long time. Let me know if you think up any names.
