Tylototriton shanjing, the emperor newt, Mandarin newt, or Mandarin salamander, is a highly toxic newt native to Yunnan and parts of South China. It is sometimes seen in private collections and is potentially available for sale at certain reptile and amphibian-specializing pet stores and occasionally through captive breeders.
