Is it possible to have twin axolotl in the same egg. It looks like we have one egg with 2 happily moving little babies inside?? Just wondering if that is special;)?

I have never heard of this but it does indeed appear to be twins! That is really cool! Keep us updated!

Yeah it is possible and quite common

I raised some twins.

They are two eggs inside one jelly coat so not identical.

    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?
