Expert Answer

The Oriental fire-bellied newt has a short lifespan of only 5-10 years. Many factors affect it, and individual newts differ.

Captive newts and wild ones differ greatly: captive ones usually live longer, while wild newts often die early from environmental problems or predators.

A safe tank with clean, cool water supports a longer life. Stable conditions matter most.

Also, in captivity, whether the keeper’s methods are scientific affects the newt’s lifespan. Good husbandry adds years.
