Tiger Salamander photographs

These are some photographs of Tiger Salamanders.  These medium sized amphibians make really good pets.  They are easy to take care of and will live many years with proper care.  Tiger Salamanders are yellow and black.  There are several subspecies of Tiger Salamanders.  The pattern for these amphibians can vary depending on the species and even between the same species.  Tiger Salamanders are amphibians which mean they are cold blooded animals. Tiger Salamanders need the sun to warm up.

Tiger Salamanders start there lives in a larva stage which they will remain in for several months.  At this time they are completely dependent on water.  After they change to the adult form, they require water only to remain moist.

Tiger Salamanders will eat insects and occasionally small mammals such as mice.  These animals are nocturnal and spend most of the day hidden underground.  At night they hunt for small prey.

I took these photographs of Tiger Salamanders using a Canon 5D Mark II camera and a Sigma 180mm macro lens.  For lighting I used an Alien Bee flash and a large octobox.

This is a video of my Tiger Salamanders and some turtles feeding.
