I use paint to resize pictures.
Open the picture with paint and select image in the menu bar. Then go to Stretch/Skew. Change the horizontal and vertical % to 50% for example and see how big the picture now looks.
These are C. e. popei, because of the small white dorsal spots. Interesting variety though, these are really black, with beautiful dorso-lateral red lines!
The nominates may have specks, but their specks look different (smaller, more regular in size/shape/distribution, less bright in color). I agree with Wouter, the kind of spots on your newts make them C. e. popei, with almost 100% certainty.
Are they large juveniles, or adults? It's hard to tell the exact size from the photos. They are quite nice.
pretty sure theyre adults. Id say young adult rather than large juviniles. Once they are settles I am probably goigto introduce a male, and i am pretty certain I have some lovely ladies.. And they were only 8.99
Sadly, wild-caught newts are usually cheaper than captive-bred. There is less human labor involved in taking animals from the wild and shipping them, as opposed to raising eggs.
The amount of white spots on your popei is quite normal for popei. You'll see photos of popei with a lot more white, but those are unusual newts - and those are ones people tend to take photos of.
