Fire belly newts?
Today I went to the fish store with my boyfriend and there were about four fire belly newts? in a small little critter keeper full of water with some twigs in it..there were also some little frogs that were dead floating in the water......I saw those same dead ones in the water a few weeks ago...so I'm thinking the owner doesn't keep the place too clean..but anyway..I was so tempted to just buy them and figure out how to take care of them because I'm sure I could do better even though I have little to no specific knowledge of them....but I stopped myself and decided that I would come home and find out more about them so that is what I'm doing. What I'm wondering is, how involved is the whole situation with pets like those..because chances are, my mom and my sister won't want to go with the idea of adding some new pets if they require a lot of space. I'm thinking, I might be able to pull off a ten to fifteen gallon tank..so would that be adequate space for about four newts..and if not, how many could I stick in there. Also, I'm wondering if like...they are the kind of pets that you just look at, or if you like...interact with them at all. Thanks!
