I have a younger tiger salamander who up until yesterday ate voraciously as most tigers do. Yesterday was feeding day and she stayed buried instead of coming out to be fed. Today she is still buried and I'm a bit worried about her skipping on feeding. Also yesterday I noticed mold on top of some areas of the substrate (eco earth) I cleaned this up and plan to let it dry out a bit. Could she be sick? If so what should I do for her? Should I disturb her or just wait until she comes out for food?
 
She could just be shedding? My tiger Salaman likes to bury herself to shed. But if she isn’t out in the next few days, maybe dig her up and check to make sure she doesn’t look sick.

    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?
