| |  Unidentified lizard or newt
Found this dead (dried up) on my kitchen floor this morning. Not sure if it is lizard or newt. Live in Scotland if that helps (haven't seen a lizard up here before). Live near a pond whih, reportedly, has great crested newts in it. Any suggestions appreciated.  |

It looks far more like a newt to me but I couldn't tell you which type. I'm sure someone will come on here and let you know.
Best regards,
Jason

Jason, Thanks for your reply. What I should have mentioned is that it was about 2.5" in length (including its tail), so I assume it was a baby one. |

100% a newt. Hard to say which species, I wouldn't instantly go for great crested, but it kind of looks like its back right foot is stripey may just be the shot. If you can flip it over and take a shot of it's underside that would be handy!

Looks to me like a dessicated Smooth Newt - head not "blocky" and large enough for GCN and hind toes too long for Palmate. |

I would say smooth newt as it looks the same as what's in my pond.
Underside shot would confirm. |

Thanks for all the replies. Here is a photo of the underside (excuse the fluff on it).  |
