Hey Everyone,
My baby is nearly 2 and a half years old (i count from the day i got him). He's a black colour with a charcoal coloured tummy.

I've noticed over the last 6 months or so he's developed large (5mm) black(er) and white spots on (mostly) his head. He seems ok, a bit cranky, but i think that's just him.

He also has a transparent portion of his tail about 1 cm on the very end.

I read that many of the lighter coloured axies get pigmentation on their faces, is this the same sort of thing?

He's pretty active, at the moment anyway. One last question, when should one be able to tell whether they have a male or female? at what approximate age? I've gotten so use to called him "him" that i better find out for sure

    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?
