I live in Eastern Kansas. I am retiring in two days from being a school librarian. As I was cleaning out things today at school, I saw a little creature in my library office. At first I thought is might be a worm of some sort, but then it scooted off and I saw legs! After looking at some images online, I think it might be a newt or salamander. It was brown and about 2 1/2 inches long. From what I saw of it, I think it's head may have been a little pointed. Of course it scooted off and I figured I wouldn't see it again. Then later this evening, I was moving some papers that were lying on the floor and there it was again. I was going to try to catch it in something so I could get it out of there, but it got away from me again. Any ideas on what it might be, why it would be inside the building, how I might find it again so I could get rid of it, etc?
Thanks to anyone who might be able to help me.
