Any LFS selling Fire Salamander?

[denlim]

Hi,

Anyone knows where to get Fire Salamander or Newt? I posted a thread earlier but it went missing. So, post again.. Hope I'm not doing anything wrong this time.

Tks!

Sometimes the young of a tiger salamander aka waterdog (which looks like a fish or even an axolotl) would be brought in and sold as fish by mistake. Had a few waterdogs some years back and they morph into adult salamanders after a few weeks.

For this to happen, the exportor has to know they are not salamander, the importor did not know they were importing non fish and the LFS are selling them as fish.... how could these happened so that they can be sold as fish to local hobbyists by mistake??
