Marbled newt? Heard of newts. Are they similar to lizards or geckos? What’s their skin like to touch?

Nice story from the last mushroom pic. As the shroom senescences, the viewer spies the ladder leading off to more mysteries. Will Jack be coming back down or is a tree house perched higher?
Yeah I must be medicated
"A newt is a salamander belonging to the subfamily Pleurodelinae within the family Salamandridae, characterized by its semiaquatic lifestyle, alternating between terrestrial and aquatic habitats."
Yes, it's a Marbled Newt.
I quickly tried to feed it a few insects before releasing it, I noticed that its skin was not "oily" like that of toads, for example.
They are also unable to climb walls like geckos and they move very slowly.
It is a very fragile species but very cool.

Another Salamander buddy (Salamandra salamandra)
I don't know if it's the same species than the one at the top.
It appears to have the same morphology as the Marbled Newt.
Edit : In fact, it is one of the many subspecies (difficult to say which one) of the common salamander.

A little collaboration with a fellow photography student, my helper, Rachel. This week I am helping her with Macro Photography and she is helping me with Post-Processing Editing.
Rachel took this picture with my Macro Lens on my Crop Sensor camera. There were 3 electrical lines going thru the picture but she edited them out. Nice job! The 'Wishing Well' is just a cover for my well pump. Out here it's well water and septic tanks, and damn lucky we got electricity! And those dang wires!
