Newts can be found all over the Northern Hemisphere in North America, Europe, Asia and north Africa. Some live on land while others live almost exclusively in water. For example, the alligator newt lives on the southern islands of Japan in swamps, forests, grasslands and croplands.

Red Spotted Newt Care Directory. The Red-spotted newt is one of the most popular pet newts in the United States. Like most newts, they are relatively easy to keep in captivity, provided that you can acquire a steady supply of small vertebrates and invertebrates for them to eat.

Newts are either fully- or semi- aquatic, so require specialist care and attention, especially those from tropical climates. Once you have set up the tanks, they are incredibly cheap and easy pets to keep.

Newt bites are nothing to worry about, you barely even feel them and only get them if your hands are in places they shouldn’t be (of coarse there are times when it is completely necessary to handle them.)

Newts shouldn’t be handled any more than absolutely necessary, as much for their own protection as yours. Oils or other substances such as soap or chemicals on your skin can injure the newt’s skin or be absorbed through their skin, and the simple act of handling can damage the delicate skin of a newt.

Companions. While newts can be kept with some fish, they must be species that are small, non-aggressive, and adaptable to cool water. The number of fish should also be low enough to allow the newts to compete easily for food, as they are much slower to feed than most fish.

Newts like damp shady environments with easy access to water, so to encourage newts into your garden, build a pond (but don’t put fish into it, as they’ll eat the young newts).

Newts may arrive in ponds after other amphibians have left, as they tend to breed a little later than frogs and toads. This might be an indicator of pond loss: ponds form ‘stepping stones’ for amphibians across a landscape – if ponds disappear, so can local populations of amphibians.

This is nothing to worry about, they will stay in the pond over the winter and develop next spring. Later in the autumn amphibians look for places to spend the winter, such as log piles, compost heaps and rockeries.

What they eat: On land it eats insects, slugs and worms. In the water they hunt insects, tadpoles, water snails and small crustaceans, such as shrimps.

The UK is home to three species of newt, the largest and rarest of which is the great crested.

When creating terrestrial habitats it is important to have cover around the pond, because young frogs, toads and newts need damp habitat to move into as they leave the water. Frogs, and occasionally newts, quite often hibernate at the bottom of ponds among the leaf litter and plants.

Newts

1. Look for the pale spotted throat.
2. Look for the pale throat without spots and a dark stripe through the eye – this can help you to distinguish it from the smooth newt.
3. Much larger than the smooth or palmate newt, the male has a large crest which is broken where the tail meets the body.

Many people confuse newts (on land) with lizards as they can be a similar size and colour. Newts have smooth skin (which can look velvety) or skin with a ‘warty’ texture, whereas lizards have scaly skin. Lizards do occasionally swim but if you’ve seen the animal in water then it’s much more likely to be a newt.
