I put this under Eastern Newt because that is the general species name. Although people refer to the the entire species as its most common member, the Red-spotted newt, I learned today that the red-spotted newt is actually a subspecies of the eastern newt.

How poisonous are they? because I remember handling them. --Iownatv (talk) 04:06, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
As far as newts go, they have pretty mild poison: they as adults only have enough toxins to kill 250 (or 2,500, I think it is weaker in females) mice while rough-skinned newts could kill 25,000. Here's the link: [1] --Cynops3 (talk) 04:16, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
