Definitely ditch the peat or add some soil which contains some more minerals and mix it well. The acidity of the peat could be a problem.



I would also use much more substrate and make multiple hides to make him feel secure. In my smaller tanks, i slope the soil so that at one end its only a few inches from the top and at the other its only a few inches deep.



Maybe get a sommoth pvc pipe fitting or two to use as hidinf areas.



Also is there a way you can cool him? He's do better if you kept him cooler at this time of year (which he may be able to sense)



Have you been to caudata culture (caudate central)? There is a Wealth of salamander husnbandry info there:
