Are you sure about that? I was told that they are different. I was told that when the color is predominantly red (such as with FB newts), it's more of a "skunky" toxin, a toxin that is repulsive, but not harmful. I was also told that when the color is predominantly green, it's a sign that the animal is more "poisonous" than merely "nasty".

Keep in mind, I got this information from a pet store owner, so who knows if he knows sh*t from shinola.

If you can refer me to where you learned that, I'd be interested in learning more.
