Lissotriton italicus wc

[enricolatiano]

Hi to everybody,
today I have found in a near brook my house of the lissotritons italicus and I have picked (I know that he is not able) them up.I have picked up a male and two females.the females have immediately made me qualhe egg and I would want to make to be born and to turn the larvas and reintrodurli into nature considering that they are little of it.don't the adults eat however, with thing I can feed them?

I know it´s not what you want to hear, but what you have done is illegal. Reintroducing the larvae into the wild is also illegal and very risky. You could inadvertedly cause a lot of damage by introducing patogens.
Reintroductions are handled by the adequate organisms for a very good reason, they have to be done correctly.
Please return the animals where they belong, it´s the best thing for them, and for the population since loosing adult individuals can be detrimental.
If you want to help these newts, provide them with adequate breeding sites and terrestrial cover for the non-breeding phase. Make their life in the wild easier, but don´t take any animals from it.

I hope you do the right thing. It´s not only illegal to catch them but is also kind of inmoral since what the species needs is good habitat, not captive breeding.

sorry but this is just wrong , put the adults back to the wild , they are not so common anymore here , you can't reintroduce them for various reason , obviously it's illegal(basicly nobody care in this damn country), ok nobody will arrest you for this but if you like this animals just put them back , they are not pets. please

I want to add couple of thinks:
In Romania (like in Italy, I'm sure), nobody cares about newts (I mean, nobody from the people who have the legal power), but this is not a reason for take the animals from the wild. I saw hundred of newts squashed just because the pond was filed with dirt and dessicated. And this is just one of the many aspects regarding the problems with habitat conservation in EU. On the paper absolutely everything is OK . We have laws, we have regulations (Habitat Directive and so on), but practically except the specialists and enthusiasts, nobody care. And this is a fact.

Yeh, in Portugal is the same... People do not care about I caught an animal. Maiority of people do not know what is a newt... Ok, its ilegall, but... nobody cares about it! They should protect them like the law says, but, they destroy them habitat...
Its contrary...
