I've have taken on two Fire Salamanders in the last week and have found that both seem to have white sploges on their underneaths. I took them in from someone that had to move house, they had noticed the marks and had said they had been there when they had had them (for 8 months) from someone who wasnt looking after them properly.
I believe them to be sub-adult S.Salamandra, they came to me in a RUB with a substrate that was waterlogged and very smelly. I have got them a 2ft 7ins x 1.5ft tank with good ventilation and am just in the process of turning it into a natural set up for them. At the moment they are only in a basic tank with good ventilation with a kitchen role substrate until the end of the week when the tank should be ready.
I cant provide any pictures just yet as I dont want to disturb them too much, was just seeing if it was something i should be worried about.
