Hello to all:
I retired from teaching biology 5 years ago and am the proud owner of an axolotl named 'Nanou'. Nanou is a leucistic axolotl, and he's more than doubled in size since I got him 5 months ago. He/she is quite beautiful and I'll be posting a photo and video very soon.
I also own a Dumeril's boa named Fluffy, so my two unusual pets make for great conversation. I look forward to hearing from members of this group and learning much more about my wonderful pet.
Oh, I set up Nanou's tank with a single layer of 1/2" stones on the bottom, all except the front right corner. That corner of the tank is an area 4" square with no rocks at all, an area I call the 'food court'. I feed Nanou in this area (he moves to the food court when he's hungry). It's a lot easier to keep this bare glass area clean than to remove fouled food from the rocks. I use a clean turkey baster to remove old food. It works great!
Regards, Russ
