Dude, it's the first day of their breeding season and you cock block them?

How is their population affected by people taking them out of their natural environment during breeding season?

Cool lookin little critter there. I used to have newts and salamanders as pets when I was a kid.

I think most amphibians are affected by environmental problems first, thats why they had all the problems with those frogs up in minnesota

Yup They are one of the biggest in the US and only live in fast moving water. We did a two week study of them in college. It was very cool.
