I ordered 2 A. Opacum's a little less than 2 months ago. At first they were both eating fine, but after about a month one of them stopped eating. After trying different food items to no avail (the healthy one ate them all, but the other one did not) I quarantined the one that wasn't eating into a simple set up with non-bleached paper towels as substrate and noticed that it was missing it's toes on it's back two feet. Looking at the pictures from the first 2 weeks he had them then and looked fine. The only two things I can figure are it's sick or the other A. Opacum was being aggressive, although I haven't heard of them being aggressive in that way. Any thoughts here? He still hasn't eaten after 24 hours of being quarantined. Thanks.
 
My Marbled salamanders have never shown anything like this, but try to get it eating, and keep in separate from the other one for a bit. The toes will regenerate quickly.
