Tiger salamanders are type of mole salamander native to North America named for their beautiful coloration – usually a banded or spotty combination of yellow, green, and/or black. These large salamanders have voracious appetites and grow to nearly one foot long. They also love to burrow and live in burrows that are usually two feet below the surface.
