Hello, My name is Ami and my boyfriend owns a salamander. With in the past couple of weeks we noticed that he wasn't acting like his salamander self, just very lazy, and he eats just fine, but he doesn't care to be excited when food is given to him. So we picked him up yesterday just to look at him, and thats when we noticed the large bump towards the rear of him, in between his hind legs. He also looks wrinkly, we have been misting him with filtered water, we change the aquarium every other week. And his water at the same time. So if anyone could please help us out to finding out what is wrong with this little guy, so that he can get back to being a happy little salamander!

Thank you!

That's what you would call his...family jewels :eek:

Other than that, everything sounds normal.

    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?
