salamanders

12/22/01 We just found a salamander outside our apartment. Is it alive or dead? Do we put it back outside, or do we go to a pet store and buy it a home? If I buy it a home, do I have to convince it that it is eating live food? Is it even alive? Am I the only person in the world who would even care about a salamander? The one thing I do know is that when we touch the tail, it moves. The tail, nothing else. So is it a reaction to the salt on my fingers, or some such thing, or is it really alive? I guess only time will tell. It's not like I run an amphibian ER here. I think I'll take the philosopher's way out and leave it in god's able hands. I wonder if James Herriot would even know what to do?
