the main diffrence is that salamanders spend about 50% on land and 50% in water while newts spend 10% on land and 90% in water...

I have a pretty nice story about this brown anole I found I would put up some pics but my digi camera is broke ummm...it's long but it's still something i'll never forget
It was a pretty damn cold day out and we had this nice sized spliff we wanted to burn off. So after a little debate on were we should smoke it we all decided to walk to the river where we usually smoke. We sparked it on the tracks and walked a little down towards the old barge loading ramp. After stopping for a little bit to smoke on some big rocks, just a little between the tracks and the river, I looked over to see this beer can laying on it's side in some dead weeds. Now, there were beer cans everywhere down there but for some reason something made me pick it up. I'm not sure but I think I thought that it was a can made into a pipe. I look inside it and see this little guy sitting in the bottom of the can. I was pretty amazed at what I just found because it's not every day where you find a random can, look in it and see a brown anole sitting in the bottom. My friends were just as excited as me. My hit came, I hit it, and give the little guy a little taste of the smoke in the can. I decided to take him home and set up my old aquarium for him because I didn't think he would survive much more in the weather only about to get colder. I live in PA and i'm not sure but I think it's pretty hard to find one of these due to the fact that I look for snakes and whatever a lot. lol sorry it was so long but I was getting into it hahaha

sweet! i used to keep fire bellies 
thos second ones, they crocodile newts? look similar anyway, very neat.
my fav's are marbled, the ones from france but i never se ethem for sale. im a pretty big newt fan, nto so much slamanders but i like photographing the native ones.
% in water depends on species, and changes between larvea and mature. but newts are certainly, in general, more aquatic.

That's a cool little blue-spotted salamander at the bottom. Are these your pets, Shroom Herder? I love newts and salamanders and have kept a few different kinds myself over the years. Oddly enough, one of my favorites is the hellbender, though I haven't been fortunate enough to see one in person yet:

That thing is crazy! It is like a giant whale for land and in miniature version... and called a newt, and with legs. So it isnt a whale at all, but thats what I first thought when I saw it.

Well, actually all newts are salamanders, but not all salamanders are newts. Hellbenders are a fully aquatic salamander. There are a few other types that spend their whole lives underwater including the Japanese giant salamander, which can reach over 5 feet in length. I need to find a good shot that shows how big they really get. They could probably swallow a hellbender whole.
