The paddletail :flrt: My tank isnt that dirty so no idea what the weird marks are! And hes no longer housed on gravel as gravel is risky for newts who can eat it accidentally.

They look lovely, yes the paddeltail looks like it's just shedding it's skin.

Also gravel can be used as long as it's too big to be accidently ingested by the newt.
 
Thanks guys for the photos, very cute! :D I've found someone on Preloved selling Spanish ribbed newts and they are local! What do you think about getting those? I'll be looking up caresheets obviously but for hardiness, espesially for a begginner, what do you think?
I have a pair and there very nice. They are very large and an grow upto 1foot (inc tail) and are aquatic.
