What kind of newts were these that got this guy in trouble?
If they were a common species - shipping via priority mail is legal - amphibians,
lizards , and fish are ok. Turtles and snakes have to go air cargo for pick up by
the recipient at the terminal.
I have sent fish for years and never had any hassles from the clerks. And I've
openly declared what I am sending or recieving - be it fish or tropical frogs or
geckos.
