hippie,i've been trying to attach some pics of them but they're too big to post.

The newts here are great crested newts.The biggest one i've measured is a female at 16cm.That's one of the one's that lives under my front doorstep.That's approaching the upper limit for them and one that size is probably getting on for 27 years old.I wear a big xenon headtorch when i go out at night so i don't tread on them(they're nocturnal and very slow on land).

They spend most of their lives on land and mainly go in the water to breed.They just started hibernating a couple of weeks ago.
