Just posting some pics of an interesting colour and pattern that is showing on one of my young from last years breeding. The first pic is of the same individual when it was quite a bit younger, 2nd and 3rd are from today. The unusual patterning is interesting and I'm hoping it darkens/intensifies as it gets older. Sorry the photos aren't my best. Anyway enjoy.


Regards Neil

Wow Neil, that is an amazing colour change. How long did this take?

So pretty and very ironic, I saw one like this at the pet shop just last week though she was a very light green with white over her. I've never seen ones like this before.

I've attached a photo of the parents. They are both albinos of some kind but you wouldn't think so to look at them. The time frame from the earlier photo to the recent one is about 6 months. Thanks for all your replies.

    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?
