>>Is that a federal protection, because I checked with our state law and they are not listed as protected in Iowa, correct me if I am wrong. Why are tiger salamanders for sale all the time if that is the case?



What is for sale in the pet trade is rarely eastern tigers (Ambystoma tigrinum). Usually what you see for sale is the barred salamander (Ambystoma mavortium) or the neonate Axolotl (very rarely do they ever progress to the adult land phase). Occasionally you may still see California Tigers for sale, but I think they are becoming more restricted now. Eastern tigers are pretty much threatened or outright endangered in most states they are native to and protected in some fashion.
