Hello,
I keep this salamander for almost a year now, and never had aproblem with him, but i've been a little concerned lately. He used to have the eyes wide open and clean, but some time ago i've noticed him having a eye a bit more closed than the other, and today as i saw him coming out of the substrate i noticed that one eye was all brown, i cleaned him and quickly it got back to normal, and i tried to remove anything on his eye, and noticed the eye was a bit more cloudy than the other because he seemed to have some shedding skin in the eye and i can't take it out in a easy way.
Good eye
Weird eye
Terrarium
Maybe i should place some small rocks on the water so that maybe he can remove the skin himself? Anyone that had some problems similar to this and know how to take care of it, i would apreciate to know what you have done to take care of it.
PS: i have no idea of it's sex, i just mentioned it as "him" to make it easier to write. Also, if someone has any idea of it's sub specie i wouldn't mind to know either and would, again, be apreciated.
Caudata Culture Species Entry - Tiger salamander
From this link it looks more closely to a A.m. diaboli than anything else due to the lack of black.
