    Their behavior is the same as tiger salamanders, they spend much of their time in underground burrows. The temperatures in southern Florida may be too warm for most species of salamanders. You will need to find a way to cool them down. One advantage living up north is having a basement where the temperature is relatively constant all year around. Unfortunately, I live in an apartment now and it's way to warm in the summer, so I am now keeping frogs. You might think about keeping a siren, they are aquatic and can withstand temperatures in the 70's.
