Jabba?? Jabba the hut? Anyway, have you tried salt bath? That might help. You should be able to find some details on this on the forum, search it.

I hope it will get well soon.

Hi Edward, myself, i'd think it would need anti biotics if the problem keeps coming back. If you take it to the vet they'll take culture from the sores and give it a suitable anti biotic.

    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?
