Hi im currently in the middle of constructing an age length graph of an axolotl.... and i need some participants to complete the graph..... simply state the age and length of your axie to participate.. thanks

All lengths given in total length (TL)

Please note to properly quantify data for your chart, you should use industry standard SVL (snout/vent length) as tails vary wildly with little connection to age.

11 years Female 11.75 inches
7 years Female 9.8 inches
5 years Females 8.25 inches
6.5
7.2
6.2
and 21 additional specimens all averaging 6 inches +/- a tenth
3 years male 8.1 inches
3 years male 7.75 inches
3 years male 7.75 inches
unknown age male 12.2 inches

juvenile and larval data not submitted due to wild variation based on temp, population density and diet and water chemistry

Deceased specimens/ Archival records

Male age 12@ death 14.9 inches TL
Female age 9@ death 13.5 inches TL
Female age 5 @TOD 10.6 inches
Female aGE 5@tod 8.75 inches

thank you for your information... yes i will definately take in account the industrial standard (SVL) thanks again this will really help towards the graph/chart.

I'll post my SVL data when I get home. For some odd reason I do not have it in digital format on my portable drives. May take a few days as the data may still be in notebopok format and will take a while to type up.
