Palmate newt (Lissotriton helveticus) Formerly (Triturus Helveticus) Controlled Environment. Identifying marks on feet. The cream spots on the hind and front feet are another way to tell Palmate newts from Smooth Newts and other Newts. This is a good way to tell when out of the breading season as these cream coloured spots remain all year round. Palmate newts are very similar in general habits and behaviour to smooth newts. They are crepuscular, with activity peaking at dusk and dawn. This secretive newt spends most of the day in thick aquatic vegetation, coming out into open water only after dark. Sale or commercial exchange of palmate newts is prohibited in Britain by the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981.
