CB Smooth newts (Lissotriton vulgaris) 2022 hatch 1 3/4" - 2" in length Sold in groups of 6/$120. Additional newts available @ $20 ea. 40 available
Diet - Smooth newts are feasting on: frozen bloodworm, frozen brine shrimp. live blackworms, live whiteworms.
Smooth newts are being kept totally aquatic. 7 - 8" of water and lots of floating plants for them to climb on. Hornwort, Lloydiella, and Elgeria najas are all well adapted for cooler water and climbing newts. Anubias plants planted in sand substrate just breaking the waters surface offer another good place to rest. A slightly bubbling sponge filter and a tightly sealed glass top with a notch cut off one corner for airline egress completes the well adjusted aquatic newt enclosure. (Filter floss stuffed around the exiting airline prevents newt escape).
Shipping is by USPS. USPS overnight is $50. and takes 24 - 48 hours for delivery. USPS Priority mail is $22. and takes 3-7 days depending on zip code . Have shipped many newts using USPS Priority many successfully. Payment is by personal check. I know, I know virtually EVERYBODY uses electronic gismos paypal, square, venmo etc.....ad infinium. I am old and don't use any of that stuff. I'm too busy in my basement propagating as many newts of various species and tropical fish to mess with that stuff. No checking account? Time to find a friend or relative with one.
