Answer 1

It's understandable you want a pet. And you should, but listen to what everyone else is telling you and let the little fella go. You can purchase newts from most pet stores for only a few dollars. I would recommend a fire belly. Good luck.

Answer 2

your a little young for this website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

keeping wild caught newts in captivity (as pets) is cruel immoral and environmentally reprehensible when a wild animal i removed from its natural environment and put in a confined space it causes massive amounts of stress. this affects herps (reptiles and amphibians) very badly worse than most other orders many die simply from the stress of being in captivity it also weakens there immune system meaning more die from disease. those that survive suffer from stress related behavior disorders, stress related illness and have a shortened life span. there quality of life is pretty bad too

also your a bit young and they require alot of care

also some newts are endangered and illegal to keep remove from the wild distrub or kill. you could be breaking the law

put it back where u found it
