Is anyone familiar with the NY State laws regarding Resident New York newts and salamanders? Owning? Breeding? ect. What body, state or federal, governs this stuff?

I believe you're not allowed to keep any native NYS animals as pets, or take them from the wild.
Though you are allowed to take a small number of newts to use as bait, I seem to remember reading in fishing license stuff. Yuck.

Good thing for sub-species!
