No. I suspect they are after the insects. I looked it up and here is what I found at Live Science:

"Diet

Salamanders are carnivores, which means they eat meat instead of vegetation. They prefer other slow-moving prey, such as worms, slugs and snails. Some larger types eat fish, small crustaceans and insects. Some salamanders eat frogs, mice and even other salamanders."

Thank you! If he's after snails, he's going to get fat in my garden this year! I had no idea they were straight up carnivores. Pretty cool little guy to have, then!
