How does a salamander breathe?
Salamanders breathe by gills, lungs, mouth lining, and skin, sometimes in combination, sometimes separately. Members of the water dwelling salamanders lack lungs and breathe through the skin and mouth.

I beleive they breathe through their skin through miniscule holes called "spiracles."
by opening there mouth and saying "EAK"
