I've noticed an area of what looks like broken skin on the neck of one of my juvenile C. pyrrhogaster, it's on the parotid gland area on the left side of its neck. It looks like a graze but I can't think how it could have happened as the newts haven't been touched since they morphed apart from yesterday when they were removed from their tank for 10 mins or so while I tidied their tank and removed duckweed. I tried enlarging the photos I took then and it doesn't look like it was there then, i'm sure I would have noticed it as they are hand fed daily. The newt is behaving and eating normally although it has always been the shyest and slowest growing of the whole group. Any advice or help is very welcome as i'm quite worried, especially if its a disease as I have no idea where it could have come from?
