Evening all,

Getting worried about our pair of axos. Xena (albino) has had this weird discolouring on her tail for a couple of days and now I have just noticed that it appears part of the tip of her tail is being eaten away. Midnight (you can guess) now has some white blotches appearing on both of his sides near the back.

They are only two and a half years old and my daughter loves them.

They are currently in a 40G tank, 65-68F, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites and < 5ppm nitrates. Weekly water changes, and I have recently stepped that up.

Recently there has been a thick clear slime growing on everything in the tank and clouding the water. After doing a thorough cleaning of the tank, the slime is back within a couple of days.

I am going to place them in a different tank that I have that I have just started, and sterilize the old one.

Would it be a proper time to try a Black Tea bath or a salt bath? Does anyone have some good links for them.

Please help. Thanks.

    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
