To me, it looks like a newly metamorphed Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum) I dont know for sure though, some of the members on either of these forums would know for sure,

If it is a Tiger Salamander its best to keep in a woodland type setup, fairly deep substrate of coir or soil, bathing area, cork bark for hides etc.. they usually eat eathworms and small insects (like crickets)
