I bought it at the school gate and said it was a giant salamander. Can I keep it? Is it poisonous? Is it a giant salamander? There are several holes in it. What should I do?
This is a newt. It has slender legs, bright orange skin and black stripes. Its skin contains poisonous glands and cannot be touched by hand. If the salamander's abdomen is bright red, most of it is harmless. Giant salamander's legs are short and thick, which has high edible and nutritional value.
