I have grown to really like this newt and I am not alowed a pond in the garden. (I have been wanting a pond for years). Would it be possible to keep her and find her a mate breed them and then keep a pair of babys and let her go? Where could I get captive bred newts?

Where could I find a male newt? It was only by chance that I found her. Can you get them from pet shops? if yes what type of pet shop? would those tiny red worms be small enouth, not blood worms the ones that are smaller than them? I would watch them in the wild but I dont have a pond or know any1 with a pond.
