Hello,
I am a long time Salamandra hobbyist but with everything I’ll be the 1st to admit I can always learn more about them. I’ve been keeping Salamandra off and on now for about 14 years and about 3 years ago got back into them in a big way.
My current collection consist of:
S. s. terrestris ( Solling yellow and Solling red)
S. s. gigliolii
S. s. gallaica (Coimbra, Salvatierra, Serra de Grandola, Serra de Arrabida, Sintra)
S. s. Algira
S. s. Corsica
S. s. Salamandra (stripe form)
I would like to ask if anyone else keeping/breeding salamandra has experienced bloating/constipation in their salamandra. It seems that it can affect all salamandra but strangely I have noticed it in S. s. Corsica the most often. I currently have 1 that has not had a bowl movement in over 3 months now. It is extremely bloated but still eats and appears to be healthy other wise. The diet that I feed in varied and calcium is given as well.
Any thoughts??? Suggestions???
Please reply or contact me directly: Coolsalamandra@aol.com

Dave
