Burial?

[lilia]

Our 12 year old Japanese Fire Belly died today. Skippy deserves a decent burial but we live in an appartment so don't have a yard. What do you do with your deceased?

Thanks, Lilia

Lilia, if you want to give Skippy a burial, why not in a public park under a tree?

Others, is there any possible problem with pathogens if the newt was ill?

Sorry about your loss. I agree with Swan, find a nice park or wooded area and bury it. Maybe mark the spot with a nice stone. I think if it's buried deep enough, pathogens are very unlikely to spread.

If you wish to have his remains be used to help educate people, perhaps this may be an option:http://www.caudata.org/forum/messages/8/4778.html?1055160488
