I don't even know if it's a newt or a salamander really. A buddy of mine showed up with it in a plastic bag w/ water, said there were a bunch of them in puddles around his house (it recently POURED). I'd like to try keeping it, but first I'd need to know what I'm dealing with so I can look up info on caring for it. I've been keeping fish and aquatic frogs so I've got a general idea...currently he's in a tank with styrofoam for him to bask on.
Here's a photo; he/she/it is about 4"-4.5" long including the tail.
edit: heck, I should mention that it was found on the Texas Gulf Coast, near the Freeport area. Bet that helps a bit.
