Yes, the Eastern Red-Spotted Newt (Notophthalmus viridescens viridescens) secretes a poison from its skin similar to the tetrodotoxin found in pufferfish (the Japanese delicacy "fugu"). But is it primarily poisonous to other animals that might try to eat it. From most reports, it is not poisonous enough to hurt humans (unless of course, you eat a plate full of them).
i have eaten 1 the doctors told me I was gona die!It was a horrible experience.I still have problems.
The main predator of the Eastern Newt (Red Spotted Newt) is leeches, which attach themselves to the tadpoles and adults. The efts are generally not attacked by leeches, because this is the terrestrial stage of the newt. Other occasional predators of this species are birds, mammals, fish, and other amphibians, but most are wary because of the bright spots that warn of the toxins contained in the newt's skin.
Red spotted newts are poisonous only if you eat them or let them touch your mucus membranes (eyes, nose, mouth).

There are different types of spotted salamanders. Depending on the color there are many types. My personal favorite is the red spotted newt. Newts and salamanders are pretty much the same thing but newts live more in water. Salamanders also can live in the water but you will mostly find newts there. Different kinds of spotted newts/salamanders are: Black and yellow spotted, Blue spotted, and Red spotted salamanders/newts.
a newt may eat fish food i tried it with my female and male red spotted newts and they ate it HINT:just sprinkle a little bit of fish food on the top of their water if you put a little to much in they might get sick or die.
