Look at his armpit closest to the bump. it looks abnormally black, just like behind the bump. And the bump looks infected with fungus.

This is totally off-topic, but it is "Barely" like "barely there" or "Barley" like the grain? Either way, it's cute, I was just curious

he is named after the grain because my uncle found him and when he was naming him with my sister he saw "barely" on the back of an ale. but it was either Barely or Philbrick

Ok! that's great! Not to sound aggressive in any way, how do you know that it doesn't bug him? Also, may I have another picture of whatever it is when he is completely clean?

i know i haven't posted on here in a while but i just wanted to say thank you guys for your help and stuff, i don't think in getting another salamander or any amphibian for a while but thanks for your help anyways. I'm still up for ideas of what his bump could have been, possibly a tumor or an infection?
speacial thnks to @LittleGreenFrog for helping me, i know they havent been onlone for a year but im still gonna thank them

    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?
