Hello From Oregon

Weirdest thing, never really saw myself owning salamanders or newts for that matter. But I raise iguanas, snakes, ectra. Some neibor children found a couple rough skinned newts outside at the park and ended up bringing them to our house because they're mother said they couldn't keep them. Anyways now they are staying here, I have built them a nice little semi aquatic tank with fake and real plants ectra. I couldn't just return them to they're home because it promoted a moral dilema. They are highly toxic if consumed, and the creek they lived in just happened to be on a toddler park... Being a mother, I couldn't take them back they're some kids could get very ill from them. So here they are lol.
Anyways thats pretty much my story.

Oh yea almost forgot to mention, one of the lizards is well verry much so fatter then the other. Its belly is also much harder then the other. Could it be pregnant? If so do I need to make any sort of changes or do they just work everything out normally?

Hello,

Welcome to the site!

You will receive faster responses to your queries by posting to the Newt and Salamander Help section of the forum.

If you could include a photo of the fat newt, this will assist members in ascertaining if the newt is gravid (carrying eggs), or if there is a health problem.
