Hallo all. I´m very new to this forum...this is my first question. Can somebody please tell me what the newt/ lizard is in the photo´s. It lives in my garden where the main water tap is....it is fairly damp there and also when the lid is covering the taps it is also dark, maybe somebody has an answer for me.

I would say it is a newt maybe Ichtyosaurus alpestris, but the images are to small to say exactly what species it is.

Hallo and thanks for your replies. I have added the 2 photo´s again that are bigger...I hope that it is of some help to you to identify my little friend who has lived in my garden for a couple of years.

I'm pretty sure he (or rather she) has a spotless belly
It's indeed
Ichthyosaura alpestris.
