Hey guys, I thought I would share this:
I'd read before about newts helping each other out with skin removal, but I witnessed it last night! My larger taricha was shedding and the smaller was ripping it off of him like it was the first good meal she'd ever had! You know how they grab a nice big worm and shake it as they eat it? Same thing with the skin of my other newt!
...and all this after the little guy ate nearly two HUGE canadian nightcrawlers ALL BY HERSELF!!!! the evening before.
It was awesome to watch!
