I rescued it from my sisters basement window well and I've been into reptiles and amphibians for years (I own 1.2.0 Leopard Geckos, 1.0.0 Saharan Uromastyx, 1.0.0 Frilled Dragon currently). I would like to know if amphibians like this Tiger Sally are like their reptile cousins in that they need a few days to settle into their new habitat (20 gallon long I had laying around) before I should try to feed it? I read about 5 different care sheets and set up my tank so it can dig and it has places to dig under and a nice 2" deep dish of water for it to soak in. I think this thing has been down in the window well of my sisters basement for like over a month but it still seems pretty chubby and now that its in a humid environment it seems pretty active (for a salamander).

Should I wait a few days not messing with it to give it time to adjust or should I try right away to feed it? I know with toads Ive kept in the past, they will do after ANYTHING that moves, but this guy seems kinda freaked out by the whole ordeal.
