Dude, don't kill it!

Chat it up -- you could save a bundle on your auto insurance.

I thought about a salamander. Is it worth to keep it ?

 

[chewyxrage]

yeah looks like a salamander, pretty cheap really.

keep it if you like it

do you have a tank setup already? My buddy who has a couple has a half water, half land setup that looks pretty sweet

some newts are deadly toxic. after you dry them out and turn them into powder.

they use them as bait man, you can get a bunch for cheap. They do make decent pets, kind of like goldfish, low maint. don't usually live too long. Smell like shit though.

 

[manny78]

What do they eat ?

 

[Lestat]

What do they eat ?

worms and small insects. they need to stay moist.

also, if they lose a limb, it will grow back.

Manny never saw a newt (which is what I think it is) up here.
I'm guessing it was someone's and they let it go or it got away
You can bring it to a pet store if you don't want it.
