Hello, last year a friend had a relative who owned a newt. This relative couldn't keep the newt anymore, and so I agreed to take it! :happy:
I truly love my new friend, but I never understood what species he actually is. Maybe you can help?

I also don't know how old he is... the owner said he had him for one year. Is it possible he is 2 years old?

Definitely looks like a warty newt, one of my favourites

    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
