New York State Laws.

[RandallRock]

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?

That would be the Department of Natural Resources.

Wrong section. Moved. I wish people would take a look at the categories before posting.

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!
