How long will it take for a baby newt to get to an adult size?

banded newts. and smooth newts?

In general most newts will reach adult size in around 2-3 years although growth is somewhat dependant on how much you feed or how they're kept i.e. aquatic or terrestrial. Many newts can be sexually mature before they reach full adult size.

What food(s) are you feeding them? Some foods seem to make animals grow faster than others. If they are eating loads, they should grow, though it may take several months to see a noticeable change in size.
