Your axie looks very young, it may be too early to say if its a boy or girl. How old/how long is it?

Righty ho..I'm going with its a girl..and the black toes suggests to me its mature , however I'm not competely sure as size wise its still quite little. I take it you measured roughly from tip of nose to tip of tail?

I'm no expert - but my guess is a boy - based on the "bump".

I would say a boy, but the photos don't show much. If you put a girl in their you will soon find out. The testes swell and go pink. Like these pics of Sokar (Now deceased) Getting a bit frisky with Scarlett.

Actually, that picture looks more like a swollen cloaca due to impaction due to gravel ingestion (which is probably what lead to the death of this individual).
Axolotls drop spermatophores, which are small sperm packets ontop of a jelly stalk. Females then pick these up with their cloaca. They don't have external reproductive organs.

I think that one was female, while my female was laying eggs her cloaca somewhat resembled your photo. My males bits and bobs have stayed always stayed internal ( unless he's shy!!)

That would explain why i found an egg in there afterwards. lol. the dude at the aquarium told me sokar was a boy though. lol. i thought scarlett had left it.
Also it was never there until i put the other one in and it happened pretty much instantly.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
