Cute! I'm trying ti remember back to the days of working in a tropical fish wholesaler.... We used to sell Oregon & Fire Belly newts. This looks like the latter. Just don't get turned into one!

the fire bellied newts here in canada look way different, i'm not sure how big they grow or if they live somewhere in canada in the wild but captive they look like this
I'm not up on my newts, but they look like either alpine(leaning toward this one) or crested. Gorgeous. I have always wanted these, but they are kind of pricey when I have seen them for sale.
honor_your_life: Thats a Chinese firebelly newt...Cynops orientalis. Have a few of those also.
The Griffin: These ones happen to be Southern crested newts(Triturus karelinii). Currently raising 8 which are soon to be a year old. My plans are to keep a pair or trio and find homes for the rest. A guy I know has subadult pairs available for $45 which compared to some other herps does not seem expensive. If you find someone with eggs you can get them for almost nothing but you've gotta do the waiting and raise them up. They also don't ask for much...just a cool spot, clean water, and food(worms etc.)
