We have a 3 year old male explore who has always previously been healthy has a fairly bad mouth sore. He is still eating frozen bloodwork, live blackstone, and frozen brine shrimp with a feeder fish thrown in every once in a while.

We semi-recently upgraded his tank size from 10 to 20 gallon, added some driftwood from a local aquarium store.

Thanks for any help, he is an important part of our family.

I can’t seem to find the post, but recently someone else posted something about their axolotl having a sore that was very similar. I believe the fix was that they took him to a vet and they rubbed something on the sore to help it heal
 
Did the sore appear after the tank transfer? Have you tested your water parameters?

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
