Newts are normally smooth skinned amphibians. they enjoy half land and half water. they eat anything from small fish to black worms. Newts usually grow a maximum of 8 inches, but some salamanders can grow over 2 feet long! newts normally lives 5-10 years in captivity, salamanders can live about 30 years sometimes.

Here are some types of newts/salamanders:

-California newt

-Oregon newt-My favorite:)

-rough skinned newt

- fire belly newt

-the "Ugly" salamander

-tiger salamander

Not only are they commonly found in lakes and streams, but they are also great pets. kept in a standard 10 gallon, newts are the ideal pet for any beginner pet owner. they don't require attention even though they like it. and they are adorable. i have two Oregon newts myself. well i hope this answers your question!:) -Lib
