SICK?

Guest
I have four salamanders that i'm feeding flightless friut flies. I caught them in my backyard, and I know that salamanders will pretty much eat anything that fits in their mouth. They are kept at a temerature of 65 degrees F, and are misted daily. THey are about 4 inches lon and are all black on top with a "salt and pepper belly".
Lately, in two of them, I have noticed a big
white section on the inside if their lower body, it has a red vein running through it, they are about twice the size as normal. Re they sick, should they see a vet? Any info is appreciated.

    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?
