It seems to me that your vet doesn't have much experience with amphibians. Vets without experience tend to just say that it's stress and that definitely doesn't seem like anything that results from stress. How long ago did the spots appear? It might also be helpful to see some pictures in case someone has experienced something similar. I'm not sure what it is but I would say to monitor her and make sure she's still acting and eating normally.

    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?
