Pet in a terrarium (4)

I believe the answer is:

newt

(Other definitions for newt that I've seen before include "Went to find kind of water lizard" , "Semiaquatic amphibian" , "Went (anag.)" , "Medical worker" , "Small often colourful salamander of the Northern Hemisphere" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
