I just found this in my lounge. It's very dead. What is it?

Newt?

DartmoorDoughnut · 24/03/2018 15:12

Dragon

Storminateapot · 24/03/2018 15:12

Or Puff the Magic Dragon....? Shock

Sahara123 · 24/03/2018 15:12

Yup newt

Seeline · 24/03/2018 15:13

It looks like a lizard of some sort.
How big is was it?

Oysterbabe · 24/03/2018 15:14

It's pretty small. In its coiled position it's about as big as a 50p.

Probably a newt then

strawberrypenguin · 24/03/2018 15:16

Newt.

CrochetBelle · 24/03/2018 15:18

Prince Andrew.

NetballHoop · 24/03/2018 15:18

It's probably a newt but it does look a bit like a baby gecko

MereDintofPandiculation · 24/03/2018 15:36

Is it scaly or is that just dry skin? If it has scales, it's a reptile (lizard etc).
If no scales, it's a newt (amphibian).
From the photo it looks like a newt.
Poor thing!

grumpy4squash · 24/03/2018 15:49

Could it be a gecko?

UrsulaPandress · 24/03/2018 15:50

Newt

DailyWailEatsSnails · 24/03/2018 15:52

Newt. I think like frogs they want their skin kept wet, but he dried out in your home.

strawberryalarmclock · 24/03/2018 15:54

Echoing others, it looks like a newt to me!

Oysterbabe · 24/03/2018 15:55

Thanks everyone. I reckon it's a newt then.
No idea how the poor little thing snuck his way in.

That's a baby Hungarian Horntail.

ballerini · 24/03/2018 15:59

Oh no! I'd be devastated if I found that in my house. I'm scared of every animal going especially ones that have snuck into my house! I know he's dead but he might have a brother

W0rriedMum · 24/03/2018 16:03

I never even heard of a newt before. I would be totally unprepared for one in my house.

PissedOffNeighbour · 24/03/2018 16:07

Are you going to know as it to see if it turns into a handsome prince?!

steff13 · 24/03/2018 16:09

No idea how the poor little thing snuck his way in.

Do you have a cat?

Huntinginthedark · 24/03/2018 16:13

It’s cool I would keep it, who doesn’t want a mummified newt!
And having meets in your garden is pretty cool too!

Huntinginthedark · 24/03/2018 16:13

aaah I mean newts not meets. Though that’s pretty cool too

TheJoyOfSox · 24/03/2018 16:18

Lizard or newt. —unless it’s a sleeping dragon—

turnipfarmers · 24/03/2018 16:19

We found a frog in an upstairs bedroom, they have ways and means of getting in - no idea how. it looks like a newt to me as well.
