Recognized these guys as Paramesotriton, or warty newts right away. They were being sold as paddletails. Would love some help in identifying them.

They're Paramesotriton chinensis, which is the only species commonly available in North America these days.
 
Some of them seem quite young, too, with the yellow dots at the base of the limbs and the prominent red vertebral stripe.

Thank you for the replies. I was figuring P. chinensis. Guess it is time to scour some old threads and let the research begin...
