Most AMPHIBIANS are slightly poisonous, their body secrets poison (this is why they can be so colorful and not be eaten by every predator that comes by). That being said most of them are not toxic enough to concern a human, unless you try to eat them and that would probably take a few of them.

No, they are not poisonous but if you touched one you should probably wash your hands because they still do carry germs.
I found this at http://www.enaturalist.org/unit/48
"Q:
Can you identify a salamander we have here in NORWAY, ME. that is black and yellow and about 3or 4 inches long?
I s there a larger creature like this? My friend's cat brought one home!
THANKS!

A: Your salmander is a Spotted Salamander. These large amphibians live in moist locations under logs, leaves, and beneath the soil. These beautiful animals are harmless but often people think they're poisonous "lizards"."
