http://mdc.mo.govThe Tiger Salamander is found throughout Missouri but is more common in the northern half of the state. It can be found in forests, swamps, prairies, and near farm ponds, usually hidden under a log or rock. They come out at night to search for worms, insects, spiders, and snails. They are often seen on warm rainy nights.

Their diet consists largely of small insects and worms, though it is not rare for an adult to consume small frogs and baby mice.
