· Blue-tailed Fire-bellied Newt
A Chinese fire bellied newt is ampibian that breathes both water and air so to keep one you will need a half land half water or more water or more land your choice.
When taking care of a pet it is important to know how to tell if they are sick or not. A Fire Bellied Newt would be lethargic, and show no interest in food or water if it was sick.
anatomy of red spotted newt
u dont
A boy fire bellied newt has a red back with black spots about, 4 and on it's stomach it has the same except it's back is more dark than it's back.
Carefully pick up the newt between your forefinger and thumb. Carefully turn it over so its belly is facing you. Look at the vent and then look at the cloaca. If there is a bulge where the rectum is and if the rectum is a hole, it is a female.
Bloodworm!
Yes about one fire bellied newt can fit in the tank with no promblem get a small filter and a dock of some kind and decor if you want.
Sure...might give them a good washing first just so you don't introduce any bacteria to the tank.
My name is Sarah. I have had my fire bellied newt for seven years. I feed it either live or frozen blood worms. It usually has fresh water, but I have not cleaned the terrarium that often, so I assume he is a tough little creature. I expect it to live for at least ten to fifteen years.
You can buy a Fire Bellied Newt at Petland, but make sure your newt is healthy before buying it. Make sure it is breathing fine, its eyes are open wide and it is eating its food. You may want to make sure it is moving around and that it isnt in a tank with sick newts because like with people, it is contagious. I hope this helps you, and good luck with your newts. I had six newts and here are the names I named them. .Dottie .Jose .Runner .Fishay-Fishay! .Spidey .Spot
