Are salamanders poisonous?

It is understood that salamander toxin is hidden in the tiny glands at the tail, which can produce tetrodotoxin, which can stimulate the intestine after absorption and act on the nervous system, leading to nerve paralysis and death! Newts generally feed on snails, worms and insects, and people who keep them as pets can feed these animals.

The salamander's body looks like a lizard, and it looks plump, its skin feels smooth, and its long tail looks like a gecko's tail. The body color of salamanders is in sharp contrast, because most of them are black and yellow, but because of different varieties, they also have different colors.

Life habits of salamanders

Newts have porous skin, which allows water and air to pass through. In hot and dry conditions, the skin must be kept moist to avoid dryness. When the weather becomes cold and wet, most species live in wet places, or just climb out at night. Aquatic species live in streams, lakes, ponds and caves. Terrestrial species hide under rocks, logs or burrowing soil, and some can climb trees.
