I do not claim the be the crocodile hunter, nor even an insect hunter :idiot2: but I found something odd in my backyard..

I thought this was a baby snake a few weeks ago when I seen it the first time, now they have four legs..

Somebody please tell me WTF this thing is!

Its a Lizard. I use to call them Aligator Lizards but I dont think thats what kind they are. We get a couple out here ever now and again. Some of them get to be as long as the top of your middle finger to your rist. They do bite but it doesn't hurt O0

Alright! It's a salamander, and it's harmless. Looks like a Pacific Slender Salamander, Batrachaceps sp.

Tell me where you live and I'll pin down the species. Seems I'm the resident authority at my school and in parts of the Anelope Valley. BTW Herpetology is the study of snakes, crocodilians, lizards, skinks, salamanders, frogs, toads, and caecelians, otherwise known as reptiles and amphibians. Sorry if I come across as a know-it-all but I've been on this planet for 61 years and spent most of those years in college. I don't know shit about marriage (been married 5 times)! * * * * * * * * * Bill

What'st worth? Hmmmm. Actually they are illegal to sell or transport across state lines. Know a guy that spent 19mos. in jail for transporting Gila Monsters from arizona to CA. I would release it back to the area where it was found. I THINK is's protected. Check the lastest CAlif Fish & Game publication, or on line, to see it's status.
The booklet you get when you get a fishing license(yeah, I know,Fishing license?) will list the reptiles and amphibians that are protected. Here's a good one, you may catch rattlesnakes but need a FISHING license!

it's a newt. is there water anywhere in your back yard? Even if the grass is really moist, they love that.

AND if it has a yellowish/orangeish belly, it's called a California Newt...
totally harmless, and actually pretty personable.

My brother is a herpetologist... that's how I know this crap.

Thanks.. It's actually a California Slender Solomander, very close to a Newt from what I hear..

To answer your question, no water in my backyard, but very damp grass. Although it did not have a yellow/orange belly... do people keep Newt's?

Heeyyyy. Not so fast. I want two fire extinguishers now, one for each side. And graphics too. I want flames to cover everything even the windows. And four different wheels. An oil cooler on the roof, one dented fender and the other three fenders with primer on them. Maybe a donut on the right front.

it's weird here in the US coz back in Asia mosquitos are quite common but you find very few of them here, same goes with ants.
i see things similar to that lizard lots of time back then.

It's called DDT and pest control.

Back in the day we decided to try to eliminate all the little pests that cause disease. We weren't successful in getting all of em, but the populations are significantly reduced.

In alot of other countries, they dont have the money or the means to use the pest control methods we once used. (DDT is very very difficult to buy and use thanks to a bunch of health scaremongers and the Greenpeace Nazi Union Organization)
