Hi there!
My 7 month old leucistic has developed small markings on his face. I know that they can sometimes have freckles but these are new they developed recently so I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t a fungus or something scarier than a few cute little spots.

Leucy's can develop pigment spots as they age, so that's all I think it is. Do they look like they are flush against the skin or are they raised?

    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?
