are the populations in trouble? i remember seeing the most common...firebellies and eastern....and even way before that the emperor, hong kong warty, paddletail.

i have one aquatic salamander that looks like a baby mudpuppy not sure what it is.


it is living with 10 blacknose dace. i wanted to get a few newts preferably something native like the eastern.

The store I work in has several newts in right now. Peninsula newts, spainish ribbed newts and paddletail newts along with dwarf and greater sirens, axolotls, tiger salamanders, fire salamanders, and a big variety of frogs.

The store I work at doesn't carry much for newts simply because of their temperature needs. When room temp is 78-80 in the reptile room it makes them uncomfortable when they prefer temps of 65. Not sure if that has anything to do with other stores but that's the major reason we don't have them.
