Grey coloration in Cynops orientalis

Hey guys,
I was walking through a store selling Cynops orientalis and saw that some of the newts had a greyish coloration. I know that there are fire bellied newts that have this color naturally but:

could they also get this color when they are sick??

i liked the color they were but i hesitated to buy one in case of illness. Can anyone answer my question?
 
Check out this thread, entitled "Grey orientalis":

I should note that this is a phase as the above newt was as black as the others when I got her. Still, that's not to say that all the others can also become like this. I simply don't know.

    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?
