I found this little guy in my basement a few days ago, and he looked like he’d been displaced and had had to find a quick place to curl up again. Lots of big wolf spiders hunt in my basement so I took him upstairs just in case he was at risk and bought small meal worms (in pic) in case he was hungry. I figure he’s probably in hibernation mode since it’s winter in Michigan. Does anybody know what kind of newt/salamander this is? And are these meal worms (in pic) appropriate food for this guy, or should I feed him something else? So far, he has ignored the worms I’ve dropped for him. I plan to release him under my front porch in the spring where our other resident wild newt/salamanders live. Any and all suggestions from the forum are welcomed and appreciated!
