Wild Newts

[kyleman]

I have some newts in my stream that I catch routinly. We found an old 10 gallon tank in our basement that is in good shape. Was wondering if we could keep the newts. We think they are eastern newts

you could, and it sounds like you have a healthy natural population.

read the caresheet here: http://www.caudata.org/caudatecentral/caresheets/n_viridescens.html

and if you're still ready/equipped, best of luck to you!

I keep 4 (released the other 3 again) Triturus Vulgaris which I basically caught in my backyard, they are doing great and laid a bunch of eggs which are now hatched, and they like their microscopic food I also got from a local pond pretty good! They grow very fast
