    Axolotls do shed their skin as do other newts and salamanders. You can usually see the milky white layer that the animal will pull off and then they will eat it.

    could be a fungal infection (as these can attack the gills) or it could be morphing (rare case: turns into an adult terrestrial salamander, this is very stressful and reduces lifespan to a couple of years, keep the same as a tiger salamander)
