Hi there, this is my big guy. He is 12.5 inches long and will be 2 years old this april. Sadly he has lived his entire life in a 1 gallon tupperware tray. I moved him to this 20 gallon long tank last night, he really doesn't even know how to swim around as he had no room in that tray. 2 weeks ago i noticed these brown patches of skin on the bottoms of all his feet and was wondering if anyone had any ideas to what they were???

I think thats just part of it's maturity marks? Thats just me tho maybe some1 could look into it :D
 
Thanks for the reply, i was kinda thinking that too at first because i read that they become sexually mature at around two years which he or she is.
 
xD yea thats a sign of maturity for Leucistic Axies for wildtypes like mine their toes turn white xP:eek:
 
I know this post is very old but it’s worth a shot. My Axoltol is experiencing the same issue. Did you ever figure out the cause of the patches on the skin?

    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

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much
