Salamander in the Pool...

This is a first time for Dennis to find a salamander in our pool!

He was one cold Salamander...

The Salamander had managed to crawl up onto the handle in the pool skimmer.  He was out of the water, but there was no escape!  Dennis got him out and held him for a few minutes, he warmed up and began to squirm.

Sunned for a few minutes...

Then scampered out of sight!

We have had lots of frogs, one snake, a mallard duck, one possum... now a salamander !  I've seen lots of lizards running around, but had not seen any salamanders here at the house.  I've only seen them while spelunking in caves and those have been blind and albinos. 

Can't wait for little Tully to arrive so he can discover all the critters with us!
