Default Piebald Copper!!
Well I'm not sure if these can even exist but have a look at the pics below and see what you think. This might not be as striking as say a wildtype with a big white patch but it's still unusual. This copper has never had a disease or been injured which could have caused this pattern. Both it's front legs have almost no colour although one legs does have a few sparkles on it. This came out of two coppers I bred last year and is still pretty small as you can see. Anyway enjoy.


Regards Neil

That's awesome. Looks like they ran out of spray paint.

Thanks for the replies. As you can see it's almost a year old and still easily fits in a chinese takeaway container. It was one of the slow growing ones that I usually give away for free when I sell other axolotls so I'm glad I kept it.

Regards Neil

there are always some of those slow growing ones! I've heard them be called midgets, like its a genetic thing. It sort of makes it extra cool

I'm sorry to say that this animal died about a week after the photo was taken. There aren't too many good reasons why some axolotls grow very slowly. It didn't feed as usual one day and was dead the next. I would have liked to see the colouring when it was older but if it was struggling in any way then I guess it was for the best.


Regards Neil
