Whats the lowest temperature he can stand??

I'm getting a CFBN tomorrow and I know the temp shouldnt go past 70 degrees. But I have a storage room where I keep my vivarium and I can lower the temo to as low as 50 degrees. I wanna know what temp I should keep him at and at what temp does he start to get cold and slugish?

I have had my TANK with CFB's in it as low as 40F.

Yeah, they could actually survive to just above freezing. I've personally never taken them below 46-48F, but I know a few people who have (like Steve now). It hasn't been a problem. At 48F, they still eat and are active, just slightly slower.

For winter, try to keep him in the high 40s-50s then raise to the 60s for summer. Those are my target temps and the newts cycle and breed well like that.
