I saw some advertisement for "pet photos with Santa" in a pet store today, so now my female Axolotl Taco has been booked in for tomorrow afternoon :D

I originally thought how dumb... who'd get their pets photo with santa? But then i thought about how good an axolotl photo would be :D

I will bring her in in a small glass tank with an ice brick to keep her calm and i expect Santa will hold the tank. Can't wait to post the photo :D

People take their ferrets to those things, so why not an axolotl? I wonder if someone would bring their snake, would it freak people out?

yes its in a few hours! I asked and hey said yes prior so its no issue. I do wornder about the santa, he'd have to have some guts considering you would get some verry odd pets come in. There has to be at least a few pythons, some spiders, not to mention all the p1ssed off cats! ouch

What a great way for the pet store to bring in the clients. I can't wait to see the photo's too.

Did you have to act as an axolotl language interpreter to relay your axies christmas wish list?:lol:

shh becaues my Axle is in the next room, and he is getting wallpaper for his tank for christmas, and today I bought him two terracota pots so he can now have 3 hides in his tank. ( I might put them in his stocking if i can work out when he is asleep to sneak them into so he doesnt see santa arrive)

    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?
