Hi all looking for a little advice on my fire salamander. I've noticed on its legs the yellow markings are sort of discoloured and black/brownish. I'm unsure if this is something I should be worried about or just a natural thing? It's housed with another sal who doesn't have this, water is treated and it feeds great and seems to be thriving. Ive had the pair since June last year when they were just cute lil babies and the discolouration was present then. I've done some research and can't find anything online so was hoping there might be someone who could give me some info on this please?

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
