   Removed this large Fire Salamander from the well.

   It either lived there (the well is mostly dry due to a leak) or it got syphoned into it with today's heavy #rain. It was resting on top of the only bit of rock that stood above the water surface.

   Any advice on how/where to release this fella? I know they need access to water so I might need to find a stream or pond of sorts in the vicinity.
