Not only are they commonly found in lakes and streams, but they are also great pets. kept in a standard 10 gallon, newts are the ideal pet for any beginner pet owner. they don't require attention even though they like it. and they are adorable. i have two Oregon newts myself. well i hope this answers your question!:) -Lib
