um I dont mean to sound rude here but a pet of any kind is not somethingto be taken lightly. you need to do plenty of research so you know exactly what kind of care your chosen newt needs. From your post I get the impression that because the seller mentions reptiles you can put anything in there. if you're going to get a pet you may as well ensure that whatever you buy it will house it comfortably for the rest of his life and to his full size. Google the different types of newts because you need specialist help, really. Take everything with a pinchof salt though.
