I, in grade school, had two awesome newts. One a C. pyrrhogaster from a pet store which lived for 8 years until I went to college and my parents let him escape, and the other a N. viridescens which my friend found and it lived for 5 years before it died. I have recently tried to start keeping newts again because I got my own apartment. I bought two C. orientalis from what I thought was a respectable pet store. One has since died and the other won't eat. (I've posted a thread in the help section)
Long explanation aside, I want to do things right this time and get some newts that will eat and hopefully some day I can give breeding a try.
I live in Pennsylvania and I was thinking of trying N. Viridescens because other than the crested newts I think they are the coolest and I have had some prior experience.
However, I have no idea where to find them, I certainly don't want to go to a pet store, and I don't see any breeders of them anywhere. There are some science suppliers but I hear now that they have that fungus problem.
Any advice?
