if you dont even know what you have captured, then it would be best to just let it go and be happy in its natural habitat
its wrong to keep a wild animal in a cage. If you want a pet, go to the store and buy one, so you can have the right information you need to care for it and keep it happy.
Salamanders are slimy and dont have scales, they need water to survive (amphibion)
lizards have scales (reptile)

Until you identify what it is, there is no way to tell you what to feed it. Lizards and salamanders have very different food and living requirements. If he wants a pet, it is best to research and decide on what you can afford to keep.

Wild Caught amphibians/repltiles usually don't live too long in captivity and quickly sicken and die. Please go release the poor thing back into the area it was caught at.
Also when trying to ID things that were captured, list where your at.

Give it crickets, you can find them easily under logs, in damp and tight areas, and at night along the edge of your house. just dump them in the cage and the critter will eat when it wants.
