Hi everyone,
I've been keeping two captive-bred Salamandra terrestris sub adults for nearly one year. While both of them have been very lively and eagerly eating, one of them recently (like one week ago) from bright yellow to a dull orange. Also, its skin looks kinda dry. Sitll, it continues eating as usual (mostly earthworms and slugs).
I've read on this forum that this might be the sign of shedding, and thus pretty normal. Still I'm worried that the poor creature might be sick. What do you think ? Should I give it more vitamin supplement ?
If that might help, substrate is moist but not wet, viv is planted with live ivy, two burrows are provided in the form of half claypots, and there's a small fond of fresh water for the sals to bathe in...
Any help would be much appreciated :happy: !
Many thanks in advance !
