Brain tumour??

my axie neville has a lump in the centre of his head which appeared quite quickly. i hand fed him tonight and the lump on his head popped like a spot and bled slightly when he took a mouthful of food. it looks like there is a piece of loose skin poking out of the wound. i am really worried about it as im thinking it might be a tumor? keli xx

Keli, this sounds very dramatic. Can you take your axie to a herp vet? If you phone around you should find one. If I remember correctly there is a list of vets somewhere on caudata. Sorry I don't have time right now to find the link. Can someone else find it and post it?

Not sure, I think Melafix will be ok as long as it's only a skin infection. I haven't used melafix or been able to come across any yet. Does anyone else know what it's good for?

If you feel its only a skin infection try a 10 min salt bath for next few days. I use the quantity of salt that would go into Holtfreters solution.

    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?
