A bit worried about my male apuanus

[melfly]

Hi guys,
This is the first time i've posted out of the axolotl section so apologies for my lack of knowledge!
I've had a male and female apuanus (Samson and Delilah) for a few months, they seem to be to be fine up to now. (I believe they are fully grown)
I keep them aquatic, they do however tend to sit on the filter every now and then.

I have noticed Samson today and once before, clamping his back legs to his cloaca.
Could there be something wrong?

Water parameters are fine, temp is 16 degrees and they're feeding on frozen bloodworm.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
Mel

Anyone??

I've seen this once or twice in one of my aquatic juveniles, particularly when water temperature was very low (c. 3 deg. C). They are otherwise fine. If there are no other symptoms and the enclosure conditions are not obviously wrong, I wouldn't do anything other than keep an eye on them.

Ah ok, thank you

I shall keep an eye on him then.

Thanks!
