Reptiles and Amphibians!

Red Spotted Eastern Newt

  • Found throughout New Hampshire and most of New England
  • Pictures above are of the “Red Eft”, which is the terrestrial juvenile phase of the eastern newt,and are commonly seen out in the open on moist woodland floors. The orange skin of the red-eft warns predators of its toxicity
  • The eft stage may be confused with the Redback salamander
  • Up to 400 eggs are attached singly to submerged vegetation in ponds, lakes, or swamps. Larvae are aquatic. Juvenile red-efts spend 1-3 years on land before returning to the water. Adults may be active all winter on pond bottoms or in streams
