Do you guys notice poorer eyesight in your albinos and golden albinos? I know that albinos in other species can have issues with eyesight due to either a macula under development or developmental changes. In geckos, the albinos always had poor eyesight compared to other varieties.
The question comes from my own crew. I was hand feeding my crew (one wild type, one Lucy, and one golden albino) and I noticed that my golden kept missing the worm. I was deciding if it was poor eye sight or just poor judgment but I'm leaning more towards eyesight lol. I have noticed he is normally more laid back than the other two but now I wonder if it's more he can't see well. Just curious if anyone else had noticed similar differences in their water dragons. Thanks! :)
 
Not a major problem with amphibians, albino axies are no worse than any other colour.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    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?
