Sneaky, my young Notophthalmus, has something wrong with him. I noticed a reddish patch on his belly (between his front legs) yesterday. This morning, his entire ventral surface is covered with red. I'll try to get a pic, but he's not cooperating. He's acting perfectly normal - eating, exploring, etc - but this looks really bad :( The skin doesn't look raised or damaged, just really angry red.

Anyone have any ideas? Help!


ETA: bad pics - sorry for the quality!

    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?
