Hi all!
My male spotted appeared to be impacted (I made the mistake of only feeding red runners and crickets for the last month and a half-- he and his tank mate have no interest in food that doesn't run away from them) and after finding this thread (http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-be...nder-help/85967-obese-spotted-salamander.html) I decided to try fridging him before heading to the vet. It's been six days and I haven't seen a solid poop but he seems to look better but I'm not sure, do you guys agree or should I be taking further measures? The picture with the cup in it is from last week and the other one is from tonight.

Too me it seems more bloated than impacted. I think you need to see a vet.
