How to Breed a Tiger Salamander

Breeding the Tiger Salamander in captivity is difficult.  The first thing you'll have to do is cool them down for a few months. Don't feed them for awhile. After a month or so you can bring up the temperature.  This helps to simulate their natural environment.  Another trick you can use is use rain or a rain simulation to help trigger breeding behaviors.
