Hi I'm from Kent England and I have an Axolotl a green one. I have been reading up about them and still have a big question to ask about it.

'Smiler' came without any frills - will they grow he does have little ones?

Do you mean the axolotl is a GFP that "glows" ? An actual greenish one sounds more like a tiger salamander to me, which could explain the lack of external gills.

Could you post pictures ? :) If it's an axolotl, the gills will hopefully grow back with proper care since axolotls do not morph very often.

^^Some wild types are overly green,i think its pretty rare in the UK to be able to buy tiger salamander larvae.

As long as you care for it well and keep on top of water changes/monitor ammonia,nitrites and nitrates,the gills should grow back.

a picture would be very helpful!

I guess I could see how some wildtype could be called "greenish", I've never seen one that looked as "green" to me as tiger larva, but perhaps (and especially if it was GFP and fluorescing through its natural colours).
