To my A (and B and C)

Yesterday was exactly three years from the day I first encountered my newts A, B and C. I have heard that the lifespan of most newts in captivity is around two months, but this probably doesn't apply to the red-spotted newt (eastern newt) which can live up to five years in the wild. However, A came to me as an adult (as opposed to a red eft which is like a teenager/child) so I think I'm doing pretty well...yes?

I think I would like a red eft or three for pets. I think C may have been one, but he wasn't quite so red.. I would naturally name them D, E and Ft. Eastern newts can be efts for anything from one to five years before they becom adults. They move around much much more (A is a lazy butt, but C was always climbing. This is probably why he died, having escaped the tank and crawled across the room before drying up).

Working on a newt ava for them. Because they rock. <3
