Haven't posted any pictures for a while... Today the camera and the axolotl where co-operating ( well slightly) .The wild type is Jeffrey, he is approx 3 years old. Measuring him earlier he was just over 30cm. The melanoid is Bruce and he was playing at being shy and measures 25cm . He is the son and heir of Jeffrey and is approx 18 months old .

Aww beautiful axies Julia.

I like the quaint pot of orange something growing out of it. Reminds me of golden mushrooms but cute nontheless.

Hugs ;)

I don't know why - maybe the chipper gills? - but Jeffrey looks rascaly to me. Like he'd chew bubble gum if he could. :D

These are used for running water off our shed gutter ..cut into sections and the edges sandpapered ( the saw left some jagged edges ). I noticed that various pet shops etc charged an arm and a leg for this type of thing, whereas various hardware shops sold them considerably less. Give them a good clean before adding them to the tank.

    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?
