Hello I have an Ambystoma salamander that seems to have an infected injury on its leg. Does anyone have any advice on how to proceed? I moved him out of his 10 gallon tank and into a small container with wet paper towel as a substrate and some dirt on the side for him to burrow into if he wants. I am not sure if I will be able to get to a vet that treats amphibians so I am not sure how to help him. Any assistance is appreciated!

    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?
