this is his new dinner 'table'
 
Lol what a life he leads! What type of Sali is he? And what are you feeding him there? Cheers.
 
I think those are bloodworm and it is a Fire belly newt. Probably a Chinese Fire Belly.
 
yes,
He's a cynops O. And i'm feeding him frozen bloodworms (plopped in front on this rock from tweezers ) and thats how he sat.
 
Is he an Oriental firebelly newt, if so i am receiving a pair of these soon, could you tell me are they a cold water species and mostly aquatic?
 
Hi Sarah

I keep 4 oriental Firebellies in room temperature water and mostly aquatic although they do climb onto their cork bark island from time to time
 
Sarah, all newts are cold-water species, or at least cool-water species, so do your best to keep those temperatures down once the weather starts to heat up

Also, I noticed in your profile that you keep "dog face newts" already. If these are Pachytriton labiatus, or even if they are some other species, be sure not to keep them together with your "oriental firebelly newts" or you will have big, big trouble...

By the way, those are umbrella terms invented by the pet shop industry that sometimes cover different species with different temperaments and requirements. You can find more accurate names for your newts (along with their scientific names) and more information about them here:
