Hi all, I'm an italian biologist and I would like to receive an opinion about the health status of this salamander breeded by someone (not me of course) who refers to himself as an amphibian specialist. Do you think that this salamander reflects the standard condition of his species?
Your opinion is very important in order to decide if I should take action against this man.

Thank you

I have seen animals like that in the past but they never lived for a long time after they were so skinny like that.

Hello, yes it is a very skinny animal, but if the cause of its
thinness is only the lack of food then it can recover weight with
great number of earthwoms and slugs, on the other hand if the cause are
parasites, then it is damned:(, thanks

    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?
