There's no mention whether salamanders lay eggs or give birth to live young. Could someone in the know please add info about that? 68.248.101.45 21:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

The Finnish plural partitive case for salamanteri (salamander) is salamantereita, which is also the same case for salamanner, meaning "secret continent". — JIP | Talk 13:23, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Isn't the use of the stamp to illustrate a salamander contrary to the fair use guidelines spelled out on the image's page? Mr D Logan 05:31, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
What happen's to this little guys in the winter time ? i read their cold bloded so does this mean they dont freeze ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.201.170.24 ( talk) 15:45, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Should there be something about the salamander life cycle? How its like frogs where there is eggs/larvae/adult?
- Ravedave 17:35, 22 December 2005 (UTC) They live about 20 years. Some spend their life in water, others in and out of the water, and others spend their entire adult life on land.
I found a Salamander in my pool. It's been there for at least 3 days clingling to the tile just above the water line. Its body is brown striped and the tail is bright, almost flourescent, blue. It looks like he was designed specically for my pool because the body is the same shade of brown as the pool tile and the tail blends in with the blue water. I've been doing research on the internet but I can't find this particular species. My daughter wants to make a pet of it, what would it's favorite habitat consist of? What would we feed it?
Are there any salamanders or newts which live in saltwater areas, or are they only in freshwater habitats?
First, it's a bad idea to keep wild animals, they can be dangerous and it's better for them to be free. Second, salamanders don't live in saltwater environments. Also, I don't know of any salamander with a blue tail, it's probably a kind of lizard known as the skink. Many skinks not only have blue tails, but also take readily to water. Dora Nichov 12:08, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
By the way, your herptile (reptiles and amphibians, we don't know if it was a lizard or a salamander) was NOT specially designed for your pool by nature, 'cause nature didn't make your pool. Both salamanders and skinks eat invertebrates. Dora Nichov 12:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Uh, I am not too up on WarCraft Lore, but I've played the game into the ground pre-Blackwing Lair. The Flamewalkers look a helluva lot like the WoW represenation of naga, and very little like salamanders- does anyone know of an in-game reference that somehow links the two?
And, uh, weren't there ACTUAL salamanders in Searing Gorge? Y'know, the ones you get scales from for the Dark Iron faction? I can't recall, was Engineering myself, and my WoW account isn't active presently, so I can't check... if anyone could look into that...
My salamader's anme is booshae. WE caught he from the wild but we will be putting him back when it is warm enough for him. When we found him knew we had to help booshae. He was in a cicle huddling him self and looked frozen, we even thought he was dead untill my dad picked him up. So we took him home but we don't know what kind he is and what to feed him but of course we got him yesterday. He was in my brother's freind's screen area, he even had some broken screen around one of his fingers. He is Black with yellow spots and he has eyes that would blend in with a rock. And might i say he loves the water and to be rubbed, we always have washed hands before and after we touch him. He is already used to the family i known i will be sad when he leaves. My parents were thinking about getting him crikets or grasshoppers to get him.

The Comment
Adm. David Glasgow Farragut, famous for proclaiming "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead", was nick-named Old Salamander for his great naval exploits during the Civil War. Torpedoes refer to ocean mines.
Can we get a cite or reference for this or I believe it should be removed.

Never mind I fixed it and created a wiki link to him.
to a cnn report, today, there is a study of salamander regrowth, to train human bodies to regrow, particularly regarding limbs, possibly otherwise as well.
Thank You.

Q: Can somone put up the Genus and Species of the Salamander? That would be greatly appreciated, and doing it ASAP would help. Thank you!
A: There are hundreds, if not thousands of different salamander species. One example is Ambystoma maculatum.
I've cleaned up and reformatted this section, but work still needs to be done with regard to cleaning up the individual bullet points and providing references to the historical points. If anyone can provide appropriate references, that would be very helpful.01:36, 3 February 2007 (UTC)CH
Should the classification section/table be moved above the mythology and popular culture? How do other species pages do it? Steveprutz 17:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
According to the salamandra wikipedia page, and other web sources, it seems the phylum is chordata, not amphibia. 216.239.76.111 02:10, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Oppose; individual species can have separate articles, there's nothing wrong with that. This one is actually quite long compared to others that are only one line. Also it has been proposed to merge the article into the classification section, but the classification section isn't about individual species, so the merge could not been done without loosing essentially all of the information in the article Amphiuma pholeter. IronChris | (talk) 03:39, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I oppose the merger of Urodela and Salamander because the Order (Urodela) has more to it than just salamanders. That said, the lovely "Classification" section in this article belongs on the Urodela page. Estreya 14:56, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey there. Someone added a pronunciation, but it wasn't in IPA, and even to my non-native ears/eyes it looks not-quite-right. "Sa-la-mOOn-der". Shouldn't it be /sɑ.lɑ.ˈmɛən.dəɹ/ or /sɑ.lɑ.ˈmɑn.dəɹ/ and not /sɑ.lɑ.ˈmuːn.dəɹ/ as the ad hoc guide seemed to say? — Coren (talk) 13:44, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Says this at the end of the first paragraph. I think that's wrong -- should be Anura (frogs/toads). Someone please verify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.251.193.226 ( talk) 09:03, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I took this photo of (what I think is) a salamander in central Pennsylvania recently. It was in shallow water in Black Moshannon Creek (actually the lake in Black Moshannon State Park). Can it be identified from the picture? Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
why do they go after shade and how do i capture it to send it back outside? Murakumo-Elite ( talk) 04:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
I just caught a salamander and am keeping it for my grandson. I need to know what they eat.
Is there any reason this page has been vandalised five times in the last 10 days? Who could have a grudge against salamanders? Other pages I watch don't seem to have this level of vandalism. But good work to those who reverted it, usually within 60 seconds. Arikk ( talk) 19:49, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
I suggest that we format references in this form:
Our article states: "When placed into a fire, the salamander would attempt to escape from the log, lending to the belief that salamanders were created from flames — a belief that gave the creature its name." An offline reference is provided. However, that sentence does not clearly explain why the association between fire and salamanders "gave the creature its name", and the English Wiktionary's entry " salamander" says "From Old French salamandre, from Latin salamandra, from Ancient Greek σαλαμάνδρα, of uncertain origin", that is, no known connection to fire. This needs some clarification. — SMUconlaw ( talk) 10:28, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
