Hey Guys
My salamander about 2 months ago started to have problems not opening his eyes. now it looks like he has some kinda fungus on them and there is blood coming from his eyes and his nostrils. my other salamanders all look fine and healthy he is the only one showing problems I have had him for about 7 years and have never had any problems like this before can anyone tell me what i should do and medication i should use. I have put him in a tank on his own. Please help Thanks

This sounds very serious.

Is this an aquatic or terrestrial salamander?

If it's aquatic then you can send it for a little holiday in the fridge to help with healing and contact your local exotic specialist vet.

If it's terrestrial then I'm not entirely sure what the protocol is with regard fridging, but I definately think your animal needs to go to the vet ASAP.

He is a terrestrial. he is a tiger salamander that had medamofosized. But he died the other day. I called and talk to the vet's around my area, and none of them worked with reptiles of any kind.

    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?
