Question: What Newt/Salamander should I get?

[Repguy27]

I am looking to get either a newt or salamander. I want one that is about 5-8 inchs, can live at a water depth of 4 inches of swimable water, likes a little over 3 gallons of swimable water, likes room temperature, is semiaquatic, eats frozen food or salamander & newt pellets, is easy to take care of, and it isn't poisonous or it has a very weak poison (so it couldn't harm house cats or dogs). Does anyone know of such a newt/salamander?

How big is your enclosure?

 

[Repguy27]

My enclosure is 4 inches deep, semiaquatic, and a little over 3 gallons of water are swimable in it. This is it http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753235.

5-8 inches seems kinda big for that enclosure?But I could be wrong its just my opinion.

Its bigger than it looks. Its about 2/3 the length of my 20 gallon long and its wider that that tank. Would a JFBN like it? Its semiaquatic.

I was refering to length, width, and height.

Its hard to measure. Its around 22.5 x 16.5 x 8 inches with the water level gonna be at 4 inches deep. This is it http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=2753235. Would this be good for a JFBN.
