Question:
Salmander, Newt, Or Something else?

We live in wyoming and my husband is a night maintainer for road construction on the interstate. It has been raining heavily tonight and now all of these salamander looking things are all over the road they are greenish yellow looking with little black spots all over them. Just by the description does anyone know what they are or if they are poisonous.

I have no idea of the species but all salamanders and newts secrete toxins. Fortunately they are not very dangerous to humans unless you swallow the said newt/salamander. However they can irritation/numbness, even if they happen to touch the smallest scratches. Stuff on your hands (oils, moisturisers, powders, chemicals etc) can also harm the delicate skin of the newts/salamanders.



I recommend using rubber gloves if your husband has to move them.

i could with the aid of fact i do unlike him or the different frontrunners. Newt will beat himself via November so i myself choose him to win the nomination with the aid of fact i in basic terms can not vote Republican this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. That occasion has in basic terms been off their rockers for some time now... the worst GOP candidate would be the desirable element for united statesa. interior the long-term. It in basic terms makes it much less complicated for a incumbent if his opponent is a cranky previous bastard who comes out weapons blazing. you notice i could particularly have a incumbent win if his combatants haven't any ideas... the GOP in basic terms has no reasonable ideas and calling Obama a socialist isn't a answer.
