I've heard some less than glowing experiences from any of those suppliers. They do not ship live animals in a good way. So don't use any of them if you want successful, long-lived animals.

The best way to get eggs is from a reputable breeder. That way they will ship them to you responsibly, as well as have bred them responsibly.

Be sure to read through our Care articles before you make any purchases. They do require some special care, and it's important to do your best to make them happy and healthy. They can live over 10 years, and should not be taken lightly.

I agree; these large biological supply houses sell wild-caught newts and are generally clueless about their care requirements. Most likely, you'd get sick or dying newts. There are people on this forum who sell healthy captive bred newts and/or eggs. Just keep an eye on the sales section in this forum.
