I would guess that is about average size for an adult axolotl. I have 2 that are about that size and they are getting close to 1 year old.

My first axolotls grew as they aged for a long time. They seemed to reach their maximum size at about 7 years old. The male was 13 inches long and the female was 11.5 inches long.

I didn't think they could get to 13 inches. Thats huge! But then, I shouldn't be surprised. Lots of animals can surprise you with their growth rates. My Bearded Dragon reached 22 inches long when she was only 11 months old!

Here is a not so good picture of my old male at 13" long. He was 8 years old when this picture was taken.

That is a good looking Axolotl to, and 13inches that pretty big! I have actually heard of axys over 15inches, but never seen any.

    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?
