Hi Everyone,
Its great that this site exists, its been so helpful already. I have a unique newt story. Last Saturday my friend tells me me this story: his mom saw a tank sitting out on the street. (as garbage, small plastic tank with gravel, rocks, etc). She had wanted to set up a fish tank so she grabbed it and brought it home only to discover it had a newt in it. He asked me if I wanted it and I said sure, I raised California newts as a kid. Tunrs out its a red eft. So there it is, I have adopted a homeless red eft found abandoned on the streets of NYC. Top that story! He seems to be doing well and had a good fill up on black worms a couple of days ago which made me feel better. I built him a little rock cave which he almost never comes out of. The experience though has reminded me of my love of newts and has inspired me to endeavor to set up a tank for adult eastern newts and see if If I can make some babies. Most of my questions, on both the red eft and the adult eastern have already been answered but I have a few questions that I'll post in the help section.
