Newt noise??

Not really. No newts that I know of make any noise, though a few species of salamander will make limited noise; sirens make a clicking noise, and necturus are said to make a "barking" kind of noise that may just be gulping air.
 
I have heard Triturus vulgaris make a small mouse like squeek when startled before, but these are the only newts I have personally heard noises coming from.
 
My Taricha release air when stressed and this makes a small squeek noise.
 
Hayden, where did you get your Taricha from? Are they Taricha granulosa?
 
I have heard triturus vulgarus squeak, it was much louder than I would have ever expected, quite startling and effective, if it wasn't for its squeak I would have accidentally stepped on it.
 
Nicolas,
We e-mailed each other about this numerous times. I was the one who gave you dawn's email.
Hayden Asche
 
Don't think so, I never e-mailed you, and I don't know who Dawn is. Dawn has Taricha? Fill me in.

... Oh yeah, I just picked up one Taricha granulosa today, but that's not enough for a 50 gallon tank, haha.

Hmmm...I have your email. Maybe it was about something else...
 
i can back up T. vulgaris squeaking, and your right it is quite a shock.

but do other Triturus make any noises or is it just vulgaris?
 
If handled roughly all Triturus will "squeek", so will Salamandra and Notopthalmus, and probably most caudates.
 
I remember a long time ago when I first got newts that when I picked them up they would always bob their throats and squeek until I let them go. I know I wasnt holding them to tight cause it always happened when my mom picked one up.
 
Hayden, doesn't matter much what happened in the past, I'm looking for Taricha now. Dawn has some available? If not, do you know where where could I could find Taricha?

Nicolas, email me at kurt_bert_claudio@hotmail.com and I could try and hook you up w/ dawn. They are small and probably wouldnt be able to live with your adult right now(Im assuming you have an adult if they are from a pet store).
 
my a. maculatums and especially my n. viridescens make a popping noise.
