It is probably morphing. Just leave it alone until you notice that he never goes back into the water and his gills are completly gone. You can then move him to a totally terrestrial setup! Although to be honest, I have noticed that some terrestrial salamander occasionally take a dip into water when there is a water source in the setup!
