Hi everyone. I'm really here to just get some general information on some Newts that been showing up around my place lately. From the research I've done they have a toxic secretion, bad because my dog bit one. Fortunately he didn't get sick, I'd just hate to have him eat one or something like that. The first one I found was in the yard next to the house and my latest find was in the basement. We took on some water during the rain this week and when I went to take a look around there he was. my initial thought was that it had to be to cold for them here (South Dakota, USA) in the winter. Guess not!! I took a few pictures of the first one and then took both of them out to the wood pile out back. I hope that was a good place to return them to. Thanks for any info I may be able to gleen from you, Tim
