Question: Dislocated limb?

My juvenile axolotl is regrowing his limbs and when I checked on him this morning all was fine, but when I came back this afternoon his arm seemed to be twisted (circled in the photo). I was really worried but then 2 minutes later after some wriggling around it was seemingly (?) back to normal (second photo).

Is this anything to worry about if it seems to have corrected itself or will it keep going into funny positions? Maybe because they are regrowing they are more flexible?

Thanks

    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?
