I bought some super worms at the Tinley show and my saly's attacked them. But what really shows off their speed is dropping a dozen crickets in the tub, they go from sluggish to lightning speed. It's different though, when they eat nightcrawlers, they just mouth them like a toad, but then they head-shake them to stun them, it's like a dog trying to pull a chew toy out of your hand, I'm suprized they don't make grawling noises.

Ha, agreed. This is one of the reasons I am sure I will always have at least a few tiger salamanders as "pets"... I feed mine by hand and can't get over how brave these guys can be and how fast they are to grab a bit to eat... The rest of the time they're lazy bums. Awesome animals...

have you tried feeding live pinkies? hehe

oh yeah, it's so hard not to feed them pinkies more than one a month though lol. they love 'em though. i try to vary what they eat and end up using them as a "garbage disposal" when the other critters aren't having what i offer... they'll eat anything it seems like sometimes.
