I'm just guessing but I'm assuming that a garden pond
keeper is more likely to find frogs and toads in the pond
rather than newts and salamanders.
And I'm thinking that newts and salamanders are more prevalent in suburbs that
are more woodland in feel, where by design or happy accident, there are more
woods, ferns, foresty areas than your more bulldoze it down and build it
suburbs that I think are more common in the West.

So a quick survey of current rec.ponders. How many of you have found newts or
salamanders showing up in your pond?
