《薩拉曼德拉》是德國《爬蟲學與人性學》(DGHT)的一本基礎廣泛的爬蟲學雜志。它出版了所有爬蟲學領域的原始研究和評論文章的結果，包括系統發育、系統學、動物行為學、生態學、生理學、保護生物學和圈養繁殖，給出了各自的科學相關性。只有當發現提供實質性的新發現時，才接受對動物學和自然史以及物種清單的較短貢獻。

SALAMANDRA is a broadly based herpetological journal of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Herpetologie und Terrarienkunde e.V. (DGHT). It publishes results of original research and review articles in all fields of herpetology, including phylogeny, systematics, ethology, ecology, physiology, conservation biology, and captive breeding, given a respective scientific relevance. Shorter contributions on faunistics and natural history, as well as species checklists are only accepted, if findings provide substantive new discernments.
