Hi i should be receiving my first batch of eggs for this species shortly. apparently no paperwork is necessary however i would like some sort of proof that they are captive bred. as far as i'm aware no certificate comes with the eggs so how could i go about doing this?

Well, I don't know all the laws in different countries very well, but I know that T. cristatus is strictly protected.

So the one giving you eggs should write down that they have been captive bred with his full name and adres, perhaps even a copy of his passport just to be sure. If you get them from someone within the EU he or she, should also be able to show that the adult animals have been legally obtained, if not, I would not take them and this person is doing illegal business. This in fact is also the case for all other Crested newts cases.
 
hi Serqe..the man Chris is getting them off is a registered breeder so he should have no problems obtaining proof..

    Hello. I just noticed two notches, white small bubbles on the hind legs of one of my male newts.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
