the forbidden gummy

I'm surprised you can lift it so easily. They are pretty 'eftty

*groan*

I looove red efts 😍 Years ago I rescued one in a drought who was chilling in my rooster's water bowl. Kept him inside and misted his enclosure until the drought passed. I hope he lived a full, happy newt life

Forbidden gummy

If you did eat one would it be bad (asking for a friend)

Eastern newt, red eft terrestrial stage- they have an aquatic stage, too. Fascinating creatures.

Red spotted newts!! I had some of those guys for a few years growing up. Abducted in the Alleghenies in Pennsylvania

They are good for hiding in sandwiches.
