Years ago we found a tiger salamander in the box housing the underground pipes to our sprinkler system. He's there every spring and fall, and seems to be quite happy to lead a solitary life. He's quite safe in his dark hole and has plenty of bugs, and unbeknownst to me Hubby has been adding water in there once in awhile to give the little guy an underground lake!
Tiger salamanders are usually 6-8 inches long and live 10 - 16 years in the wild. We've known about ours for five years and he's probably five inches long so sounds like he'll be around for a few more years.
