is this a smooth newt? I took this photo but not too sure if it's a smooth newt or one of the other newts.

Thanks. My partners daughter fell in love with him and wanted to keep him. bless her. we are planning a small pond ,but until then i guess i could get her some japanese fire bellys! encouraging steps in the right direction.

Hi i found one of these in my garden last night (i was about to fill the hole full of soil, and just noticed it in there)

It is liek your pic but completely black but withe orange toes and a firey orange/yellow belly.

i had no idea what to do with it as no one locally has a pond, but i have frogs quite happily in the greenhouse (they have been there about 5 years+) and since we are digging out all the garden at the mo didnt want to stick it somewhere we may then hurt it without knowing, so i but it in the green house under a little ledge with a big bowl of water close to it.

Is this ideal?

Fantastic to get so close to such a beautiful creature!
