after feeding my juvenile axie bloodworms for a few weeks (i ran out of earth worms and could not find them anywhere near me), i got some nightcrawlers and fed them to him. i chopped them up and he only ate around two or three pieces each day for the past few days. does he look bloated at all? he’s pooping fine and not floating. i know that bloodworms do not have a lot of nutritional value so this probably was a big change in his diet. his stomach does look bigger, though, and he has been a little less active than usual. i removed the sand from the tank a week or two ago but there is still a little bit scattered around. definitely not enough to impact him, though. he also used to be on the skinnier side so i’m wondering if he’s just catching up with his weight.

Ah, yes, I saw this on Reddit too. I wonder if someone here can comment or confirm possible bacterial infections.

    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
