Hello I'm new to keeping alpine newts, I have 5 morphs (I think that's what they are called) they are still tiny.

Mine are the T.a.apuanus subspecies, sorry if I get the terminology wrong. What is yours? Is it terrestrial? It has a very orange tummy! Mine have a kind of pale yellowy-orange tummy at the moment. They are so beautiful though, I love to watch them. I'm hoping in the future to construct a glass cube-like tank to have as a feature in the living room, everybody has fallen in love with them!
