Transitioning spotted salamander

johandley Sep 30, 2006 08:19 AM

I've just recently moved a spotted from an all water set up to a half and half, as its gills pretty much disappeared and it started hauling out onto some floating wood (amazing how fast that happens). How long does it usually take them to make the complete transition to full terrestrial? I haven't seen it swimming at all since I made the move, which is likely a pretty good indicator right there. Thanks!

If it is out of the water then it is done metamorphing and maybe at risk of drowning.
