Completed June 25, 2019, this brilliant (and probably both poisonous and venomous) little hunter began life on the train to New York in early May, but curled up in the back of the travel kit because it didn’t have the wire needed for a mobile jaw. Life intervened, and the jaw didn’t work, but he’s on the prowl at last.

He escaped from the menagerie and is off to a home of his own now, but he has a younger brother who could probably be coaxed into joining your household. Write to the Salamander to discuss details of the adoption.
