Don't ever dig that pond, i just witnessed a huge pond destroyed a couple of years ago and all the amphibiens have absolutely nowhere to go, they roam all over the road and get slaughtered in the thousands, its terrible to see, many amphibiens will only breed in the place where they're born so to dig out the pond you may very well be destroying the only place they will survive for the future, please do your research and find out for sure.
Salamanders eat many small animals, from insects to spiders to worms. They consume several creatures that people consider pests including slugs, mosquito larvae all good
Might be worth finding out if you have a wild life group in your area and asking them to come and do a wildlife audit before you do any pond dredging - you don’t want to suddenly find you are disturbing a rare habitat of a protected / rare species and getting fined lots of $$$$$$$’s We have some very rare newts and frogs in the U.K. that the builders of a new highway had to build in tunnels for them so they didn’t get squashed crossing the road
❗Hey JT 😃 - if you're reading this, please keep BO indoors at night to keep him safe from predators, coyotes, and from the weather. BO is obviously a big softy and an affectionate lap cat who needs company - and he's only a baby. As you let the dogs inside, why not let the cat inside too? I don't get it. Cats are much cleaner and have better manners. All you need is an enclosed litter tray. BO is fast becoming the star of the show and the reason I subscribed. He is a little character and a beauty. Also, why don't you Vlog his first trip to the vet and his neutering. I'm sure the views from the video will pay for the neutering fees, or perhaps us viewers could contribute? It will be the best for him and will stop him roaming when he eventually goes into heat. Also, if you deflea BO, make sure you use a product suitable for cats, because the chemicals within dog flea treatment are different and known to be fatal to cats. So please let lovely BO inside x 😃
When I was growing up my parents bought a home that was near a swamp. In the summer the frogs kept us awake at night. There were thousands of them! 😂🤣We eventually got used to them and now the sound of crickets and frogs in summer brings back pleasant childhood memories.
Here in the UK we don't have salamanders like those we do have newts which i suppose are the same but smaller and everyone loves to see them and frogs and toads too , most are protected under UK laws .......
Juvenile and adult salamanders live on land and have lungs and strong legs. Spotted salamanders migrate to breeding ponds in late winter and early spring once temperatures begin to warm up and rain showers arrive. Adult spotted salamanders live about 20 years, but some have been recorded to live as long as 30 years.
We call these amphibians "Newts". In uk ALL Newts are protected as a very endangered species. We have 3 native Newts here in UK. Smooth Newt, Palmated Newt and Great crested Newt. You should be pleased to have so many in your pond. In sure your Fish and Game officer will be able to advise you as to what you can and cannot do with them. Might be that some of them can be reintroduced into areas where they have become extinct or very rare.
Bo is a sweetheart, I love a talkative kitty. Please allow him inside whenever he wants, he has obviously been an indoor cat at some point. Where you live probably has predators and I worry for him, especially at night.
Wow !! We call those Newts ,you are so lucky ,they must love the Habitat.Some of them are protected by law ;in the UK,I used to go looking for them with a glass jar,also they are harmless🤣🤣, They travel quite away every year ;looking for new places to breed.OMG you lucky people Natures Gold right on your door step,Wonderful creatures,Please don't hurt them. B UK
If that was me and I was planning on digging the pond out some, I would do that again and set up a fair sizable tank with some of the pond water and the ponds bottom. Catch the Salamanders again before digging, put them temporarily in the tank/s or make shift pond and as soon as the ponds dug out place them back in. Theyre endangered and must be good for the ponds eco system too. I dont know enough about them but we all know that all or most animals that thrive in certain areas and conditions are there to help it be healthy. They will probably be good for fish n catfish too, so save as many as you can imo. But the choice is yours, at the end of the day its your land, your home 😊 good luck with all you do, ❤ from the UK
The big ones are spotted salamanders The small light coloured ones escaping out the holes are some kind of newts need close up to see what types Neither of the salamanders and newts bite they both dont bite
You could have some very rare species in there ..nice to save rare pond life and have free crayfish frogs and fish when you dredge it a great wild life area wow that was great
Hmm yes I also think it would be surprising if you had any fish in there, the salamanders, frogs and turtles have probably eaten every egg possible! Still, great catch 😅 nice you have life inyour pond !!
I’m sorry @JT. If a cat LETS you rub its belly and doesn’t turn your arm to ribbons, you’re accepted by the cat…. Was going to say loved, but dunno if cats are capable 😂
Should get about four Pekin laying ducks 🦆, to paddle around in the pond, they are a domestic breed and to heavy to fly, plus you get fresh eggs 🥚 🥚 🙂.

@@Debbie-st4nn Think about it, what the mainstream media doesn't tell you is that we're in the middle of the largest mass extinction this planet has ever known, 21 species per million dies out every single day(according to the New Scientist) biodiversity collapse will happen when we take out all the little guys, effectively we undermine the food chain, if we take out all the little guys then the rest on top will collapse, 99.9% of the 21 species per million are the little guys, logic says, stop killing the bugs, stop killing the things that eat the bugs, and stop killing the things that eat on them, otherwise we're doomed as its always the top predator that dies out in a mass extinction, we break the food chain and we break us!! 🦴🦴🦴
I have positive and negative comments about your video. The negative first and that is leaving any trap, in water or on land, for a week is just inhumane. Depending on what animals you catch, they can die of starvation or lack of air. You said you were afraid of a snake but unless the snake had entered the trap in the few hours before you pulled it up, it would have drowned. In fact I am surprised that most of your yellow-spotted salamanders were not dead for while they can go hours underwater, they can't go for days let alone a week. In a situation like you had, knowing you have lots of frogs, having one edge of the trap above the surface would allow them to breath. On the positive side, that is a great population of yellow-spotted salamanders. They won't stay in the pond after breeding and will migrate back to holes, edges of foundations, under large rocks and logs and live most of their life in those areas. Usually eating things that come to them and not actively hunting. This means if you time the excavation of your pond for the fall after the eggs have hatched and the larvae have grown to the point that they've left the pond then you shouldn't have any problems with them as a protected species. (If they are protected where you live as some have said in the comments. .) The salamanders will migrate back to your rejuvenated pond the following spring and mate for the next year. I'm not sure what the small one was that was leaving - it looked like a newt and if so then they might live there year round so you might want to check on them. You've made me want to go try my minnow pond on my much smaller pond to see if I catch any yellow-spots which are on my property.
@@marydavis5234 I checked (admittedly only on Wikipedia) on the Alligator range and it didn't show it getting as far north as Kentucky. Florida has NEVER been on my list of places I wanted to visit, and not just because of alligators.
Salamanders? That's posh. We call them Newts (as in Newt Scamander of 'Magical Beasts and Where to Find Them' fame) in the UK. I have a pond full of them. It's the Great Crested (or Warty) Newts that are protected here.
In new ponds where do the fish/salamander eggs come from to populate it? Also that trap looks like two waste paper bins, I have a similar one in my office! 🫠

Having that many salamanders in your pond shows, what a good ecosystem, your Pound has.

If you see pizzas being delivered to the pond you'll know for sure that you have a turtle problem
Bad news. Salamanders are protected in the state of Kentucky as endangered due to habitat loss. You might have trouble getting the pond dug out.
So,what you’re saying is, delete the video and pretend you didn’t see it? 😂
I love how people spread misinformation without even knowing anything theyre talking about....
Re-rewind, when the crowd say, "Bo Selecta"
It's funny how Bo fits yours and Anna's personalities.
It was destiny that Bo found JT and Anna.
Some of those Salamanders might be rare, if so then you may not be allowed to dig the pond. Yellow spotted Salamanders are the rarest apparently.
Absolutely beautiful critters so glad you released them ❤
Bo is quite a purrer! 🥰
You ever thought of getting a mental detector? An old ranch property like that would probably have some amazing finds.
Salamanders eat many small animals, from insects to spiders to worms. They consume several creatures that people consider pests including slugs, mosquito larvae all good
Fascinating- we dont have Salamanders in the UK, just newts which are protected because they are suffering habitat loss.
When bo was talking, my ginger cat Angus was not happy lol that was funny
love BO -BEAU 😽🐈⬛🐈😻
kitty absolutely adopted you anna and the doggos lol, he could tell your a fisherman and able to get him the fishies
That explains a lot! Anna has cows in her blood! ☺️ 🦎🦎🦎🦎

I would love to live that close to all that wildlife, I would spend all day just sitting there watching everything. What a dream.
The only salamander I've ever seen was in a jar in the biology lab at school 40 years ago.
Anna got guts 😎

When you have got the pond sorted out, build a decking area on it for the summer to keep you cool ...

Spotted salamander (ambystoma maculatum) and they dont bite at all

Top Job chap 🤘
That was good hall you had the JT.
It's likely that there are so many, because they go to the pond to breed in the spring. Then they go back to the woods .
The big ones are spotted salamanders
The small light coloured ones escaping out the holes are some kind of newts need close up to see what types
Neither of the salamanders and newts bite they both dont bite
the green one stuck in the net was a newt, verry diferent from a salamander, especially in life cycle
Did you say you eat BULL FROGS!!!! Na mate not in England 😮😮
I wasn’t sure I heard it properly 😂😂😂
deffo not.. but them french weirdos we love to hate would, lol
There aren't any edible frogs in England.
@@Hiforest Even less in Scotland.
@crimsonwizard2560 There are a lot of frogs though.
we have the little green newts in the UK I think they are cute , I didn't know salamanders were that big though
You could have some very rare species in there ..nice to save rare pond life and have free crayfish frogs and fish when you dredge it a great wild life area wow that was great
the first thing you see is the dog taking a poop by the pond. looks like a little algae, but maybe it's good for the salamanders.
Tiger salamanders , very cool
You might want to check your state and county laws over the salamanders. Some are protected. If they are you wont be allowed to dig down in that pond.
Hmm yes I also think it would be surprising if you had any fish in there, the salamanders, frogs and turtles have probably eaten every egg possible! Still, great catch 😅 nice you have life inyour pond !!
How did the salamanders taste ? 🤣

Salamanders looked like (Bigger) Spotted salamander (Ambystoma maculatum), (Smaller) Spring salamander (Gyrinophilus porphyriticus).
Hi JT❤
I'm guessing the loch ness monster....
i'm sure you know better than me on this, but don't mix up bufu's with bullfrogs!
They may not be cute but they will be eating thousands of mosquito larvae each every year.
Dog food and cat food can make shellfish like crawfish poisonous to eat
