Read the species care guide below, then talk to our team about the right enclosure and feeding routine.

Fire Salamander | Salamandra salamandra

Plan the habitat for the adult animal, with secure housing and room to carry out its natural behaviour.

At a Glance

Origin & natural habitat Europe; cool, moist woodland.
Adult size Around 15–25 cm.
Lifespan 15–20 years or more.
Temperament Individuals vary; allow time to settle before any handling.
Activity Mostly dusk and night-active.
Social needs House individually.

Housing & Setup

Enclosure dimensions are length × depth × height unless stated otherwise. Plan for the adult animal; larger, suitably furnished housing is encouraged.

Adult housing At least 60 × 45 × 45 cm for one adult; larger for compatible animals.
Enclosure type Cool terrestrial enclosure.
Temperature Around 15–20°C; protect carefully from overheating.
Lighting & UVB Gentle daytime lighting and appropriate low-level UVB, with shaded retreats; use full darkness at night.
Humidity / moisture Moist terrestrial habitat with ventilation and a drier sheltered area.
Substrate Moist soil-based substrate with leaf litter; avoid saturation.
Furnishings & filtration Multiple hides, moss and leaf litter; no deep water without a safe exit.

Behaviour & Compatibility

A terrestrial, secretive salamander with skin secretions. Minimise handling and never mix species. Wash hands after maintenance; do not touch the eyes or mouth.

Feeding & Nutrition

Offer suitable earthworms and varied appropriately sized invertebrates; juveniles need smaller, more frequent meals. Use suitable amphibian supplements on insect prey. Provide a very shallow dish of conditioned water.

Routine Care

Check conditions and appetite daily. Remove waste and leftover insects promptly; replace bathing water with conditioned water. Keep airflow and drainage working, and seek an exotics vet for persistent skin, movement or appetite changes.

Important Before Buying

Run and check the enclosure before collection. Adult housing requirements apply even when the animal is sold as a baby. Confirm the animal’s current food, age and supplement schedule with our reptile team.

Live Animals Are Click & Collect Only

We do not ship live animals. Order online and wait for confirmation that your animal is ready before collecting from Newlands Home and Garden Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. Have the enclosure prepared and its conditions checked before collection.
