Salamanders are ideal for people who are intrigued by colorful, lively amphibians. They’re striking to look at and fun to watch. Like any pet, however, they need the right care and feeding if they are going to thrive.
A salamander requires some initial upfront costs, including a tank, accessories, and food. You’ll need a large tank, and you must find a veterinarian who specializes in exotic pets.
The price for a salamander can range depending on the species and where you buy one. You can buy a salamander for around $20 at a local pet store, or you can buy an exotic one from an importer for $250 or more. Rare species will cost more.
