Topic: Salamander ID?

Can someone help us ID this salamander my son found? He found another like it last year. It isn't slimy, is greyish with orangish legs and black spots on his tail. It has pin-prick sized bright orange dots randomly along his body. He is orangy-tan with black specks underneath. Cute fellow! Also, would he survive in a terrarium over the winter?

Sounds like a newt in the eft stage to me. Here is the link to the pictures of them on this site.
