I need a snake to go in my tank with my salamander and frog. It cant be very big. Anyone know?

There are no snake species that can be appropriately housed with your amphibians. The husbandry requirements are just too different.

I can't think of any. There are two reasons.
1. any little snake that would naturally live in the same enviornment and in the same conditions as your frog and salamander would recognize them as food. And there go two of your beloved pets.
2. any little snake that wouldn't recognize them as food due to living in a different climate, would suffer under such unnatural conditions. And there goes the snake...
And then there are snakes who eat amphibians yet live in a dry climate, like Western Hognoses.
You have two options really,
1. keep a snake in a separate cage, (heated, secure, with water, hidebox etc) or
2. make your amphibian cage fancy without getting a snake. There are rocks, fake plants, branches, and a site called www.mcphee.com sells lifesize plastic replicas of coyote and cougar skulls. (the jaws are glued shut, but for cheap replicas, they're good).
So, good luck.

Get a 20 foot long retic. I doubt it would take a frog or salamander for food but they get just a tad to big don't they?
