Voted 10/10 | From my viewpoint, a creature that eats worms is always a friend of mine. Yes, it's true that bright colours can be warning signs. I need to venture out into the desert, and (somehow) get a photo of a Gila Monster. They are really poisonous, but awesome!!! Cheers! | | Posted Jan 1, 2008 12:26 pm |

| lcarreau | Awesome ... | |
Voted 10/10 | I don't blame the newt one bit! When I eat a meal, I prefer a warm place like a pickup truck or someplace with a heater cranked up! | | Posted Jan 1, 2008 1:36 pm |

Voted 10/10 | That's awesome! How did you find the little guy? The coloring helps them hide in the leaves and scare off predators. | | Posted Oct 3, 2008 1:21 pm |

Hasn't voted | He was easy to see, as he'd nailed that earthworm in the middle of the trail.
