I have some places that used to be full of bluegill and bullheads but now they’re full of spring lizards. Do otters eat them too? Just wondering if they check out the ponds.

I believe an otter will eat anything.

Well they’re about four inches long. I guess there’s as much in one of them as a crawdad.

What in the world is a spring lizard? Sounds like something you’d find in a trailer park

Trapper I know what a spring lizard is. I think they are salamanders not newts. Eric

I believe an otter will eat most anything that doesn't eat it first.

These ponds are full of those little turtles that sun themselves up on logs too. The fish are about gone. Just wondering if there’s enough food there for them to check out. I’m sure crawdads are in there too.

Thank you. I’ll set later with confidence. I’m not brave enough to try a bite of otter after watching hungry winter starved coyotes refuse them.
