Another all time hobby clasic species. My favourite are S.s.gigliolii. Do you ever have any Andrew?
Keeping fire salamanders of various sorts outside has always appealed to me.

Unfortunatly no S.s.giglioli at this moment in time but both juveniles and adults have been available fairly frequently over the last couple of years.
