Answer
a pet store would be a good place to start for info and search the Web for facts about stuff i had a salamander before that i caught in the woods under a rock near the stream. you can get a 10gal tank would be fine for about 3 or 4 of them if you want to get better quality salamander get one from a pet shop
or catch one your self. get some rocks and stack them 2 high at one end leaving about 1/2 of the tank get some pea gravel for the other have you can get this at the pet store. fill the water till it comes up over the big rocks some so they can hide out under the rocks with out droning. the other side should not be to full with the pea gravel a small layer will do fine. when you complete this your tank should be have land and about have water. so they can swim and get out of the water when they want. you can use the light that comes with the aquarium but be sure not to leave it on all day 3to5 hours a day will be enough. they have food at the pet store's but They eat insect and snails about 3 times a week. well that about covers that here is some more info have fun
i found this article for you i hope it is helpful

(1.7 centimeters); most salamanders are 2 to 6 inches (5 to 15 centimeters)
Weight: largestâgiant salamanders, up to 140 pounds (63 kilograms)
Life span: up to 55 years, depending on species
Number of young produced: from 1 to 450 eggs are laid, depending on species;
fire salamander Salamandra salamandra is a live-bearing species, giving birth to
10 to 30 young
Conservation status: Lake Lerma salamander Ambystoma lermaense and Sardinian

Fun facts
⢠The fire salamander is the only amphibian that does not hatch from an egg.
Instead, the babies develop inside the motherâs body.
⢠Only two salamander species have small, pointed claws on their toes: the
long-tailed clawed salamander Onychodactylus fischeri and the Japanese clawed
salamander Onychodactylus japonicus.
⢠The only cave-dwelling amphibian is a salamander called an olm. Olms have very
pale skin and have adapted to living in complete darkness in underground pools
of water.
⢠Salamanders canât hear sounds, so they donât make any either. However, some
species can hug the ground to pick up sound vibrations with their bodies.

Is a newt a salamander?
Yes, but a salamander is not always a newt. Confused? The word "salamander" is
the name for an entire group, or scientific order, of amphibians that have tails
as adults. This includes animals commonly known as newts and sirens. Most of the
animals in the salamander order look like a cross between a lizard and a frog.
They have moist, smooth skin like frogs, and long tails like lizards. The term
"newt" is sometimes used for salamanders that spend most of each year living on
land. The name "siren" is generally given to salamanders that have lungs as well
as gills and never develop beyond the larval stage. Other names salamanders go
by include olm, axolotl, spring lizard, water dog, mud puppy, hellbender,
triton, and congo eel. Whew!
From head to toes
Most salamanders are small, and few species are more than 6 inches (15
centimeters) long. Their heads are narrow and they have small eyes. Sirens have
only two legs, but the other salamander species develop four legs as adults,
with fleshy toes at the end of each foot. Some species, like paddle-tail newts
Pachytriton labiatus and male palmate newts Triturus helveticus, have fully
webbed feet with very short toes to help them climb on slippery surfaces. Those
that like to dig, such as the tiger salamander Ambystoma tigrinum, have no
webbing at all on their feet. A salamanderâs hind legs grow more slowly than its
front legs. (Frogs and toads are just the opposite. Their hind legs grow more
quickly than their front legs.) All four legs on a salamander are so short that
its belly drags on the ground. The exception to this is the sirens. They donât
have hind legs at all! Their long, strong tails are flat to help sirens swim
like a fish, with the tail flapping from side to side.
Take a deep breath
Different members of the salamander order have developed different ways of
breathing. Sirens keep their gills all their lives, allowing them to breathe
underwater. Others, such as the tiger salamander, lose their gills as they grow
older and develop lungs to breathe air. But most, like the arboreal salamander
Aneides lugubris and the California slender salamander Batrachoseps attenuatus,
donât have lungs or gills as adults. Commonly called lungless salamanders, they
breathe through their skin and the thin membranes in the mouth and throat.
All wet!
Newts usually have smooth, slick skin and salamanders have dry, warty skin. But
of course there are exceptions! A fire salamanderâs Salamandra salamandra skin
is smooth and damp, while crested newts Triturus cristatus shed their dry, warty
skin when they return to the water to breed. But no matter what it may look or
feel like, salamanders and newts need to keep their skin moist. If they get too
hot and dry, they could die.
Land or water or both?
Since salamanders need to stay cool and moist to survive, those that live on
land are found in shady forested areas. They spend most of their time staying
out of the sun under rocks and logs, up in trees, or in burrows theyâve dug in
the damp earth. Some will seek out a pool of water where they can breed and lay
their eggs, before returning to the land. Others, like sirens, olms Proteus
anguineus, and axolotls Ambystoma mexicanum, spend their entire lives in the
water.
Life cycle
Different salamander species have different life cycles, too. Some breed, lay
their eggs, and hatch on land. Others, such as some newts, breed and lay eggs in
the water. When the eggs hatch, the larvae grow up in the water, then return to
the land as adults. Still others, such as the giant salamander Andrias sp. and
the hellbender Cryptobranchus alleganiensis, spend all the stages of their life
cycle in water. Lungless salamanders have eggs that hatch directly into small
salamanders, skipping the larval stage entirely!
Bringing up baby
Most salamander species hatch from eggs. Female salamanders that live entirely
in the water lay more eggsâup to 450âthan those that spend some time on land.
The California newt Taricha torosa lays a clump of 7 to 30 eggs on underwater
plants or exposed roots. The eggs are protected by a toxic gel-like membrane.
Lungless salamanders such as the spiny salamander Plethodon sp. are devoted
parents that share egg-guarding duties. They curl their bodies around the eggs
and turn them over from time to time. This protects the eggs from predators and
from fungal infections. Some mother newts keep their eggs safe by wrapping
leaves around each one as they are laidâup to 400 eggs! Salamanders in the
larval stage of their development are called efts.
Whatâs on the menu?
All salamanders are carnivores, but they are seldom in a hurry to catch their
meals. Because they move more slowly than other meat eaters, salamanders tend to
eat slow-moving, soft-bodied creatures such as earthworms, slugs, and snails.
Larger species may eat fish, crayfish, and small mammals such as mice and
shrews. They might approach their target slowly, then make a quick grab with
their sharp teeth. Or they might hide and wait for a tasty meal to pass close
enough to snatch. Several species can flick out their tongues to catch their
food as it goes by.
Staying safe
Would you want to eat something that tasted awful or hurt your mouth? Probably
not! Salamanders have some special ways to keep from becoming another animalâs
next meal. Most salamanders, such as the red-spotted newt Notophthalmus
viridescens, have brightly colored, poisonous skin. The bold color tells
predators that the newt is not safe to eat. Many salamanders have glands on the
back of the neck or on the tail. These glands can secrete a poisonous or
bad-tasting liquid. Some species can even shed their tail during an attack and
grow a new one later. The ribbed newt Pleurodeles waltl has needlelike rib tips.
It can squeeze its muscles to make the rib tips pierce through its skin and into
its enemy, teaching it a sharp lesson! The California salamander Ensatina
eschscholtzii stands high on its legs and waves its tail to scare away danger.
Humans: the biggest enemy
Unfortunately, people are the salamandersâ worst enemy. Humans continue to
pollute and destroy wetland habitats. Remember, these amphibians need water to
survive. Filling in their ponds, using pesticides, and rerouting water for our
own water needs has caused declines in many salamander populations. We need to
help conserve remaining habitats and provide new gardens and parks for these
unique creatures.
The Neat Facts About The Salamander FamilySalamander
How does a salamander feel?
A salamander feels damp, smooth, and has no scales. It is also a cold blooded
amphibian. They are almost like lizards, but not quite.
Where does a salamander live?
When they are young they live in the water. When they are a little older and
more mature they live on damp land that is moist. Or in the Rain Forest.
How do salamanders move?
They either walk on four legs on land, or swim with their tail.
How do salamanders care for their young?
They lay jelly-covered eggs in the water. They lay each egg separately.
How do they protect themselves?
They camouflage themselves with the color of the land they're on. But when
they're still in the egg the jelly is thick.
What do they eat?
They eat insect and snails.
What is its classification?
The salamander is an amphibian. The adult salamander has limbs. But the small
salamander does not.
Would you like to know some interesting facts?
Salamanders have gills only when young. It feeds on what is available when it's
young. They also have huge eyes like frogs and toads.The enemy doesn't want to
bite the salamanders tail or it will be very unhappy.

How long should I wait to dye my hair lighter?
iheartlilw
I died my hair black multiple times in the last two years. 7 months ago I does my hair black and red on the bottom. About two months ago I died it all dark blond which left the bottom of my hair a weird pink and the top a dark brown. I want to ombré it blonde but people say you shouldn't dye over dyed hair. Would it not look right if I did it? Plus I have medium hair extremely thick and curly/frizzy.
Answer
Permanent black hair dye is linked to causing leukemia and lymphomas.
You've got more chemicals on your hair than I have in a year!
Overlapping dye onto previously colored hair is what creates dullness and dryness. If you color your hair @ home or salon, let your roots grow out as long as you can stand, so the line of demarcation is easier to spot. Only run color through the lengths for five minutes to refresh the ends. To extend the time between touch-ups, use a gloss and deep -conditioning treatments. They will help smooth cuticles roughed up by daily wear & tear, and the hair will look shinier. ~ Harry Josh, hairstylist of the celebrities.
Celebrity wears two-tone hair dye all the time, trying to grow out their dye. They call that the ombre style.
Style meets chemistry meets biology: We're talking hair coloring.
Playing with chemicals is not like playing with clothes, or doing a manicure, there are penalties for playing chemicals in the lab. Even hair color experts at the salon are not rocket scientists, they do a bang up dye jobs to their clients or their own hair.
Chemicals can enter the body through the skin.

London, Feb 20, 2013 I've been saying that since 2009.
Hair dyes, which include home hair colouring kits and those used at pricey salons, are linked to deadly cancer-causing chemicals, warn scientists. In 2009 the Mail revealed that women who used hair dyes more than nine times a year had a 60% greater risk of contracting blood cancer.
A year later the European Commission banned 22 hair dyes which put long-term users at risk of bladder cancer. < < < <â¨
Google: Teen 'feared she would die' after reaction to hair dye
The allergic reaction was caused by a well-known brand of semi-permanent hair dye Chloe used to turn her hair black for a Halloweâen party. . . . . called for beauty bosses to ban hair dye chemical PPD (para-phenylenediamine) from the shelves. 11-04-11
The chemical is not new and is present in a number of brands of dark hair colours, acting to help adhere the dye to the hair so that it doesn't wash out. Itâs made from coal tar and is used in both permanent and semi-permanent hair colours. Itâs well-known to be a cause of serious allergic reactions -- including something called contact dermatitis which can lead to rashes, blisters, and open sores.
PPD is sometimes added to black henna tattoos and that using them is not safe. Allergic reactions usually begin within two to 10 days following application. One bad reaction can lead to sensitivities to other products such as hair dye, sunblock and some types of clothing dyes. Oftentimes, it's using the product a second or third time. Skin specialist Najjia Ashraf reveals that there are barely any dyes that donât contain this toxin; even the ones who claim they donât, are not being honest. âBig brands often escape the blame by suggesting they are ammonia-free. However, ammonia and PPD are two very different things and PPD is present in nearly every dye because it is what gives off the colour,â she explains.
Google: A 38-year old mother left in a coma after using hair dye. SHE DYED HER HAIR MANY TIMES BEFORE, USING THE SAME BRAND. The British woman who went into coma after a reaction to hair dye has died after a year. Updated 11-25-12. The woman suffered a heart failure, struggled for breath and became unconsciousness. Her family blamed paraphenylenediamine, a chemical found in hair colour. Her family has now called for paraphenylenediamine to be banned from home dye kits. In 2000, a 38-year-old Indian-origin woman from Birmingham, Narinder Devi, died after an allergic reaction to hair dye.
