Hey everyone,

I noticed 1 of my tiger salamanders has this weird looking cut on his skin.

I house him with another tiger salamander whose a female, they seem to get along well but now I'm curious if she bite him or if maybe he has developed some weird skin disease or condition?

Any ideas?

The substrate could have caused that, that substrate can probably cut that salamander all over the place. Plus these are mole salamanders, they will try to dig, which could cause more wounds. I would switch to a coconut fibre substrate and someone else might have advise on treating it

    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?
