Josh held the salamander while Nathan poured in the dirt. They both pulled some grass to add as well.
Oh, Cynthia, you totally crack me up. I knew you didn’t like critters, but I guess I didn’t realize just how timid you were! LOL Too funny.
What a great find for the boys. I hope they enjoy their “tiger”.
Not sure if you looked them up or not, but here is a site that has lots of info on keeping these guys.

He is cute! Did you find a habitat?
I’m wondering what other great finds Josh will make during math this year. ::snort::
It was fun to talk with you yesterday…brief as it was. LOL
What a brave and accommodating mom you are, Cynthia, to allow Josh’s salamander in the house! My children are fortunate that I’ve allowed our cat inside:)
VERY cool! I think this is what we had in our backyard pond in CO.
I went out to get the paper the other morning. It was still dark, and it was drizzly. As I stepped off our porch, a little frog jumped up next to me. I did a little frog dance (as “little” as a 140 lb. woman can dance), went back in the house and waited for it to get a little lighter out.
Heather, at least your cat would make sure anything slimy wouldn’t get too far if it escaped!
No that’s an interesting salamander! Good Mom to let them keep it for awhile.
And I see hermit crabs up above. You’re getting braver!
