My axolotl hasn't ate in what seems like 2 weeks. water quality is fine. this is my third post about this so im trying to skip some questions that have already been asked. His gills have turned a pale white and he is floating a lot. he has these weird cobweb like things on his tail. they don't look fussy and won't rub off. he is in a tea bath at the moment with salt baths once a day. he doesn't seem overly skinny for not eating. I'm scared for him and want help.

Hi, do you check your general hardness? Lotls need hard water and if the water is too soft it can leave them open to illnesses.

I check with a water test kit. I'm sorry to say that he passed away last night. I feel terrible that I couldn't help.

I'm very sorry to hear that and for your loss. It sounds like there might have been something wrong that was little bit harder to pin down. and I know you did everything you could for him.

    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
