There are many different varieties of salamanders. Most of these salamanders have both gills, and lungs. There are also some that have gills, but then lose them as they get older. They then use lungs for breathing.

What is the point of amphibians of having gills and lungs?
Not all amphibians do, some salamanders are live-bearers and some frogs lack a larval stage, they leave their egg as a small frog. Most amphibians do have a larval stage with gills, some will never drop the gills (neonetism) and most frogs and some salamanders will develop lungs. Most salamanders dont have lungs and breathe through their skin. There is no specified reason for having gills and lungs at different stages of their life cycle; apparently it is a good strategy. If it wasn't, frogs would be extinct ;)
Do salamanders give birth to young ones or lay eggs?
Most salamanders lay eggs. Almost all amphibians do.Nearly all salamanders lay eggs. However, there are a few salamanders that give birth to live young.Some salamanders lay eggs in water. These eggs hatch into salamander larvae with gills. Other salamanders lay eggs in land. Usually these eggs hatch into tiny terrestrial salamanders that do not have gills.
