Dear members,

Today i found out that my tiger salamander has a skin trouble. he has a big black hole/spot in his tail. I've put him now in quarantine. my setup contains a water area and 80% land which has complete dry parts and wet parts. Does anyone know what to do? Is it due to the age or is it due to the humid tank?

*Temperature is 21 degrees celsius (=68F), and humidity is 80%

    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?
