Just for everyone's information, the spotted salamander, Ambystoma maculatum is illegal to possess in the state of Massachusetts without permits, and Mass Fish Wildlife does not issue permits to private citizens for native wildlife. Trust me I have tried in the past. They don't care where you got it, they don't care if its captive bred. You will not get a permit for it. So sorry to rain on the parade.

PS I have been wanting marbled salamanders, Ambystoma opacum ever since I first laid eyes on them. Unfortunately the state considers it endangered, so I can't have it.
