One of my two fire bellied newts has been laying eggs. However I have not seen any mating and I cant tell the sex of the other newt to tell if it is male. Would newts lay unfertilised eggs and is there any way to tell whether the eggs are fertilised or not?

Wow, congrats! That's something that rarely happens in captivity. Pretty much any female reptile or amphibian can lay eggs without a male around. Here's a link that may help answer some of your questions. Keep us updated and good luck.
