thanks:) i got him at a local pet store for 15 or 20 i think. it was labeled orange bellied newt, which is a made up name, or at the very least a very uncommon name for this newt. i am not sure, but i think i remember reading something about them not being able to be exported from california anymore, you would have to check that. they are great newts, and extremely hardy, i honestly have not changed his water in years (tons of aquatic life though), and i feed him once a week, they can go longer though. i've had him for 5ish years i think? good luck finding one!
