Hello

I have 2 five year old Axolotls.
One dark and one Albimo. I’m just concerned because my far one has been getting not raised or fuzzy or bacteria like white dots but just a pigment coloration different. I thought maybe it was a mark where he had hit something or bumped into something, but then it had not gotten more. I will post pics below

any suggestions on if it’s ammonia burn and that’s what it looks like on the dark Axolotls ? Maybe chlorine burn? Idk any suggestions would help.

they have no signs of not eating or circles tails, the albino is fone.

the only other issue I have with the black one is the feathers on the gills have went down and now are slowly
Growing back. I was doing water changes more then I was before so I was wondering if it could be because of the water , but I use a water conditioner but, this has been a weired problem I can’t figure out.

The pictures are how u can see the change on how
Much the white has come in through the last 7 months or so

Completely normal. Darker pigmented axolotls (mels and wilds) usually develop patches of lighter pigment as they age. It's not vitiligo, but think of it like that.

    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
