Take a little pinch of salt and sprinkle the leech it will shivel up fall off. Rise the Salamander immediately afterwards. The will be a wound left that will bleed. I would dabbed the area with a Q-tip covered with an anti bacterial creme. I would also keep the salamader on Clean wet paper towels for a couple days to allow the wound to heal without dirt and bacteria getting into in. Congrats of the breeding success!!!
