Europe only??? I live in upstate Ny - Schoharie county and discovered a salamander , that is best resembled in the pictures and sizes specified here as a Fire salamander ( with slightly different colored spots- greenish). It was almost dead and I was lucky to be able to revive it and send it on to the wild. However I have never seen something like this in NY in all the years of outdoorsmanship. Does Anyone have any information that they can share ???!!!please respond to bigappleking@aol.com [[Media:hgfdtbvcfgd

Why are they nocturnal?

The article says: "Fire Salamanders are active in the evening and the night, but on rainy days they are active in daytime as well." There's nothing more about this... can someone give some sort of exclamation of WHY they're nocturnal?

The subspecies infraimmaculata meanwhile seems to be separated as an own species Salamandra infraimmaculata with the subspecies semenovi belonging to. See here: caudata.org. In this case, there are "only" 12 subspecies now. -- Fice 18:13, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What the hell

"Some sub species give birth on land"? I have not heard something as scientifically inaccurate as this. If it gives birth in a different method, its a bloody different species. I'm afraid I have to eliminate this, because it cannot be verified whether they do or they don't. Sub-species should have the same method of giving birth.

Sorry, but you are really false about this. Fire salamanders are all viviparous, and normally the give birth to larvae which still have to metamorphe in the water. But some subspecies in drier regions actually give birth to fully metamorphed small salamanders on land. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.46.106.176 (talk) 13:34, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

German version

The German version of this is really a fantastic article, in case anybody wants to import some of its content. Tarchon 00:44, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
