Hi everyone!


I bought a group of Bufo debilis (four individuals) a few days ago and discovered a small change in the skin of one of the individuals...(and not the rest of the group).

"Problem" One:
There is a white part of skin on the top right side of the animal. It looks like lost skin but I do not know if it is that or a sickness (se picture)???

"Problem" Two:
The legs also have pink/dark areas of change skin (take a look at the pictures). Is this normal?

Question:
I wonder what these "problems" are and they are severe health problems or just normal safe changes?

Question:
If they are considered as sickness, how do I cure them?

(I am sorry for the unfocus in the pictures but I can not get it better....)

Please let me know if you have any answers or solutions to my health questions!!!! I am grateful to any answer otherwise I have to to put the "sick" individual to death...


Sincerely
Thomas

    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?
