Purpose of this site The information about salamanders and newts is far from easy to find on the internet, So i decided to make a site about these fascinating animals, I don´t claim that i know everything about them, this page is just for shearing the information world wide. And i hope you get some useful information about newts and salamanders. In Sweden is the information about them very hard to find, if at all.   My amphibians I have 8 Japanese fire-bellied newts, in my 96 liters aqarium,   Pictures or information If you have some pictures or information of salamanders or newts, please send them to me, so i can keep as much pictures and information as possibly on my site . Good reading If you recently started or had this hobby for a while, i recommend the book "Amphibians, their care and keeping, by Steve Grenard" this book is very excellent, and takes up lots of important things for having salamander or newts, everything from buying a newt or a frog to feed them or how they breede. If you are interested of buying this book, page in www.amazon.com for U.S readers or www.bokus.com for Swedish readers, and just type in the name of the book in their search tool. In Sweden it costs about 290 kr or $18 in the U.S. Thanks to Steve Grenard for his great book, which i also got the information and pictures to this site from.
