Question: Bloat?

[obrowell]

Hi,

Is it possible for a fire salamander to get bloat? One of mine seems to be quite swollen. It may be that it has eaten a lot recently as I just leave it to find it's own food in the tank. However I can't be sure. Any advice would be welcomed!

Thanks

Could you post a photo?

This may help.

Could be edema, too.
A picture will certainly help a great deal.

Don't know if these will help. They came out jumbo size! Thanks

Most likely gravid, perhaps fat. I don´t think this is any problem whatsoever, looks healthy.

Doesn't look like bloat to me, I think you just have a little Fatty there. Possibly Gravid as Azhael mentioned.

Thanks for putting my mind at ease guys. She just seems to have ballooned this last week or so!
