enzoom1 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 your probably gonna have to set your heart on something else cos I doubt they have them in NZ I'm not 100% sure.. but I'm guessing they're on the not allowed list because well, that nz for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 there isnt any salamanders in nz as far as im aware fire bellied newts would be the closest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Salamanders are an unwanted organism as far as i know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Axolotls are the only salamanders and Firebellies are the only newts here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 hmm i think you rite Dixon i was think newts are amphibians (which they are) but now im confused and think ur right maybe newts and axies are also salamanders or is it once theyve morphed theyre classified as a salamader. :oops: ??

livingart Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 best not to handle if you are going to, wash hands in plain water and ensure they are wet same as fish get a lizard if you want a pet to handle, beardie or blue tongue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 my axolotyls get handled all the time by my kids. they are fine. I'll part with my axys if you want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake kid Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 your a bit far away don't ya think I'll probably get either a fire belly or a axylotyl from some where around me I also dont know much about these animals could some one post a care sheet on keeping either or even just some stuff I'd need to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 If you want something to handle you would be best to stay away from axys and newts as they are best left alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake kid Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I don't think that pets that can't be handled arnt as good (how do you think I got along so well with fish) I just wanted to know as I did not want to hurt it as I love animals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
