recently purchased two eastern red spotted newts and one has a medium size black blotch on its back- looks like it may be some sort of wound or disease possibly? after searching all the archives here i only found one similar post, but of the two replies neither knew what it was or a possible treatment, and that newt died. anyone have any ideas? should i treat with bactine? i will try to get a pic soon-thanks
 
Please post a photo if you can. Is the newt staying in water or on land? Any change since you posted? Newly-purchased eastern newts do not have a great reputation for hardiness, I'm sorry to say.

    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?
