I have 3 Avic. Versicolors, 1 Avic.Metalica, 1 B. Emila, 1 Avic. Huriana, and a Big Wolf Spider that is wild caught.
If you do your research you could probably find a smaller terrestrial species of spider or maybe a small species of newt or salamander could be housed in this Terrarium.
A salamander would be cool but I couldnt find much on them. I searched online for a long time on salamanders but came up with only tiger salamanders but they get 8-12 inches!
How about a pair of Marbled Salamanders? They grow to around 4 inches and are usually readily available.
They are Mole Salamanders, which means they like to live in shallow burrows and are very nocturnal.
I bought a trio for forty bucks a few months ago. Not sure if I have a breeding pair in the trio but I have high hopes!
They are a little boring at first but they soon warm up to you, Mine will stick there little heads out and just look at me when I'm on the computer lol.
Or you could just look for some salamanders/newts in the spring- There are plenty of small salamanders that live in the Eastern USA. Be sure to check state listings of amphibians on the do-not-"harvest" list. I doubt you'll have a hard time finding salamanders/newts that arn't on your state's list. Here in VA, they are very common and the main ones are fine for being pets and most of them stay rather small- between 3-4inches.
