Moisture Habits and Leaf Litter Microhabitats
Newts rely on damp leaves and fallen foliage to keep their skin moist when living on land outside of the breeding season. Because amphibians absorb oxygen and water through their skin, staying under damp forest litter protects them from drying out during warm days.

- Belly surface: vibrant orange or yellow with dark spots
