    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

CB Blue Tailed Firebelly newts (Cynops cyanurus) 4-5 months old, 2" in length $60 ea. minimum 3 to ship
CB Alpine newts (Ichthyosaura alpestris) 8-9 months old Sexed trio 1M/2F $120. (1 trio only available)
CB Lake Urmia newts (Neurergus crocatus) 4-5 month old 2 1/2" to 3" in length $75 ea. minimum 3 to ship (not bred by me)

All 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). For Lake Urmias also place brick on top as they really are escape artists. Blue Tailed Firebelly come from lowland neo-tropical areas and do well at normal household temps.

Diet: - Frozen bloodworm, frozen brine shrimp, live blackworms, live whiteworms. Adult Alpine and Blue tailed also snack on both Hakari Cichlid Gold Mini pellets and Fluval's Bug Bites (use the Cichlid size pellet).

Payment and Shipping: Only accepting US Postal office money orders. Shipping is by US Post office overnight shipping and I charge a flat $45. (Actual shipping costs vary between $35 and $65)

Reposting in as some folks have poor reading/comprehension skills:
Only accepting US Postal office money orders. Minimum 3 newts to ship

Hi Steve, I tried to send you a private message, but, unfortunately, my organization has disabled a number of things from work computer, so I will have to wait until my husband comes home to use his. If you want to keep exchange private - please send me an email at [email protected], or wait till the evening. Thank you. Anna
 
Hi Scott, 5 Lake Urmias @ $75. ea. = $375. Sorry but I'm not interested in the Kaiseri.
If you like we could meet 1/2 way between Arlington heights and Monee. Probably somewhere off 294.

Steve

I am sorry but they are unsexed. Blue tailed take 12 - 18 months to mature, these hatched in Oct./Nov. 2022.
 
If you ever end up taking digital payments like PayPal let me know, would possibly be interested in a trio of Lake Urmia newts
