I recently purchased a fire salamander from a local pet shop on July 3rd. I have had a russian fire salamander for about three years now and they are not new to me. As soon as I put him/her(to young to tell) in the quarantine tank he ate two crickets from my hand. The next day i observed him moving his head in a fast motion like a hiccup or sneeze. He is refusing to eat now, is not very active, and still doing the "hiccupping". Due to the fact I bought him at a pet shop I knew he is probably wild caught and I knew the chance i was taking when purchasing him. Does anyone know what the hiccupping action may be because i am worried???
