yeah most of these are pretty is easy to keep, breeding can be a little trickier with cooling and such but sometimes just a warm water change can do it.

Crocodile newts! They breed and live very happily in a semi-aquatic setup. I'm getting 2 tomorrow

Where is the best place to get newts from? I'm after a breeding pair too for 50/50 set up too. Preferably one that doesn't need any pump or filter all the time.

Crocodile newts are pretty cool!
Also Japanese/Oriental Fire Bellies are AMAZING!
I think there are some available at Dartfrog and Triple 8 Reptiles....
Quite cheap as well.
The setup isn't difficult either, I don't think...
