For this damsel-scape I hoped to include a vignette into a lush wetlands habitat.

In my experience these local lizards are curious and even when startled will eventually pop up to observe their observers.

Call them what you like: Efts, Newts, or Salamanders These charismatic amphibians make me grateful for the preserved open spaces we do have in North Jersey.

Sidenote: if you do take the time to get outside to observe reptiles and amphibians do not be selfish and move them or take them home. Nobody wants to be a prisoner.
