? Salamanders are amphibians. Their basic characteristics are the same as those of most amphibians. One of their characteristics is that their living environment is different from that of adults. They are not exactly the same. When salamanders are young, they usually can't leave the water because they breathe with their gills. If they are out of water, they will not be able to breathe and will die.
When salamanders are adults, they can leave the water and move to land because of changes in their respiratory organs. However, an important respiratory organ of salamanders at this time is their skin, and their skin is easier to breathe only when it is wet. So, generally speaking, salamanders are not too far away from the water. Specifically, how long salamanders can stay out of water depends on the specific species, and the terrestrial nature of different species is different. Some terrestrial species can live out of water for a long time and survive in places where the air humidity is relatively high. However, those species that are less terrestrial can only stay out of water for a short time.
above, salamanders usually stay in the water all the time when they are young, because only in this way can they breathe. The adult period is different, different species of terrestrial nature has certain differences, but generally speaking, they will not always stay in the water, they will often go to the shore or land activities, which is also one of the characteristics of amphibians, both terrestrial and aquatic, so they are called amphibians. The same is true when breeding salamanders. It's better to set up the container in a combination of water and land, or at least put some high stones in the fish tank so that they can move on it.
