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:

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
