Question: Pregnant newt

[BlackWolf25]

Newts don't get 'pregnant'. They can be gravid, which means they're carrying eggs, but that doesn't necessarily mean they will lay eggs.

What kind of newt is it? What kind of setup do you have it in? Do you have a male and a female?

i have one male and two females, how old do they have to be until they can be gravid....ill but my pics up when i get my camera to start working

 

[BlackWolf25]

i dont think she is very old either

What species of newt is this? How long ago did you acquire them? Where did you get them from? These could all help determine if your newt is gravid or not. Have you noticed courting behavior in the tank or seen spermatophores? Is the plumpness located more towards the abdomen/hips? (so that the newt is sort of pear shaped). Sometimes newts that look gravid are just healthily plump.

Good Luck!

After looking at your other thread, it appears that your newt is not bloated. She could be gravid, although she just looks like a healthily plump newt to me. Keep an eye out for eggs on the plants in your tank just in case she is gravid.
