    Salamanders are so underrated for their beauty and importance in the ecosystem. I plan on getting a tiger and enjoy learning how personable and entertaining some species can be to keep. Plus they're darn cute!

    Once upon a time I was at Barton creek with some friends just exploring and it ended up getting way too dark too fast. And we ended up getting lost in the middle of the forest in the pouring rain. It was such a mess.

    Gotta remember the Texas Blind Salamander and San Marcos Salamander you can find in San Marcos right down the road! Of course those are just an aquatic species.

    With your gecko project will you breed smooth knob tailed geckos

    • @AfroHerpkeeper
      @AfroHerpkeeper  6 лет назад

      Probably won't be working with any knobtails but you never know! I'm for the large part going to be sticking with the less common or well-known geckos.

    We went looking for them yesterday for about an hour or 2 at the Greenbelt area. Lifted up every single rock we could find. It was a nice day and still wet from the downpour the day before. I got nothing...just worms and a scorpion. What time of day and time of year should we go? I see this was posted March 31st. Did you go in March? Thanks! My kids love your channel!

  • @evankaiafas6219
    @evankaiafas6219 6 лет назад

    Pretty crazy that over here in the east, slimy salamanders are kind of the norm, but in Texas they’re something quite special. And also u are pretty brave for picking up that wolf spider. Correct me if I’m wrong but they do sometimes bite, right?

    • @jacobgrimstad7423
      @jacobgrimstad7423 6 лет назад

      Evan Kaiafas yes they are realy agresive But they are not venomus and there bites do not hurt that much i live in Norway so our biggest spiders are the wolf spiders of europe

    • @AfroHerpkeeper
      @AfroHerpkeeper  6 лет назад +1

      They're very venomous, but not enough to be dangerous and not aggressive in the slightest. They do bite on occasion and supposedly it hurts quite a bit, but they only do so when they feel threatened, so if they're handled gently there's minimal risk. Same is true for almost all spider species

  • @LMJee
    @LMJee 6 лет назад

    I find salamanders that look exaclty like these all the time here in PA and they get around 4 to 5 inches. I don't know if it's the same species though.

    • @AfroHerpkeeper
      @AfroHerpkeeper  6 лет назад

      If it's not the same species it's very similar! Like Kenneth explained, the ones around here are dwarfed because of the small spaces they're isolated to.

  • @k91616
    @k91616 6 лет назад

    Hey I love the videos! I got an Asian Forest Scorpions around a month ago and he still hasn't eaten yet. Is this normal? I read they can go a while without eating but it still worries me

    • @AfroHerpkeeper
      @AfroHerpkeeper  6 лет назад +1

      I had a flat rock scorpion go without food for two years before passing away, and I still have no clue what was up with it. My advice is to double-check all your environmental conditions, make sure it's at the right temp and humidity, has enough places to hide, etc. I'm sure you've done plenty of research but more never hurts!

    • @k91616
      @k91616 6 лет назад

      AfroHerpkeeper I've been checking everything daily, and making sure it's all okay. I've read some scorpions can live up to a year without food but it still worries me. Thanks for the advice!

    • @AfroHerpkeeper
      @AfroHerpkeeper  6 лет назад

      Some of em do have an adjustment period and some will naturally go for months without food after a big meal - best of luck!

    AfroHerpKeeper, is taking care off a Argentine Black and White Tagu Hard i wanted to ask you because you have experience with them also can you get Argentine Black and White Tagu in England?

    • @AfroHerpkeeper
      @AfroHerpkeeper  6 лет назад

      You sure can if you look in the right places - I wouldn't know where but asking around at exotic pet stores or doing some googling would help. They're not beginner lizards by a long shot - an adult can rip into you with its teeth and claws, and they don't all tame down as well as Blue. They make fantastic pets once you have some reptile experience and can spend enough time to tame them down!

    • @woodrow6842
      @woodrow6842 6 лет назад

    How big do they get in captive

    • @AfroHerpkeeper
      @AfroHerpkeeper  6 лет назад

      They don't grow any bigger in captivity than they would in the wild, so like Kenneth said it depends on where they're from - the Texan ones will only get a few inches long, the more eastern ones will reach 4-6"
