I am mostly confident that I do have a male, copper axolotl, but I am just looking for confirmation from the community!
The breeder sold him as a regular copper, so I am inclined to believe that is true.
I adopted him when he was only a few inches long and a few months old, so he has matured under my care and I wanted to make sure I have his sex correct. Quinoa is almost a foot (over 11 inches) long and roughly 1.5 years old.
I included an angle from above and from the side.

Cute! I would say he is indeed a copper :). I also think he is male as he has a large bulge behind his legs 😊

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
