We live in Maine, and it was in the mid 90's yesterday. We had a rotation of ice packs going like we did when we had these temps last year for over a week. Our axolotl, the Tiniest, ate worms like a champ on Sunday, refused food yesterday, and then was dead this morning. She's only 3, and we've raised her since she was an embryo. She had a male tank-mate for a while, but after too many eggs, we sent him to a reputable breeder. The only health issues she's had were when she ate some gravel early on in her life, but we got those out. Her tank is a 40 gallon breeder, Florabase substrate, some live plants, and some terra-cotta pots for hiding. We use a canister filter, and we did a water test this morning, and everything was normal. I know the heat is the obvious thing here, but would 1 day of warm temperatures really kill her this quickly!?!? We are SO sad.
Thanks everyone,
Jessie
