Default Lucy the Leuci
While buying supplies for the dog at the pet-store, I just happened to amble over to the aquatics section of the pet store (as one does) and made a lovely discovery...

Not only did they have a great range of aquatic plants that I like, they also had a leucistic axolotl! I've been looking around for quite some time for one of these.

Here's Lucy!

Knowing my luck, Lucy may turn out to be a boy. This is no real bother though, as they don't come when called anyway.

What a fantastic leucistic, quite rare in Oz from what I've seen and heard. That spot on the back is unusual, a few more spots like that and you'd have a piebald.
