it prob just wondered by looking for water. they like moist and cool places

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how did it get in my pool i live in a city and did it get blowin in or how?

OpenStudy (ashley_fay):

it probably just jumped in or got to close to the edge and fell in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but we dont have salamanders around were i live

OpenStudy (ashley_fay):

hmm thats interesting. sometimes they travel in search of water but i'm note sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well thanks anyways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It could have easily come from a pond or puddle of water. Any water source pretty much.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you sure it's not a newt?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but it hasnt rained its been pretty dry over there theres been a cold wind and mornings...i cant tell the difference between a salamander and a newt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, well if it's dry, then it was probably looking for some water. That's how it got into your pool. Read thru that site.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mine looks just like the salamander one but smaller

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

alexander is a good name for a salamander

OpenStudy (anonymous):
