Stupidity or greed ?

Quite an interesting specimen there.
I'm not perfect at translating euro to USD, but I think the price is just fine.
I didn't realise I could charge extra for him, I should go stick him on Ebay. £50 starting price sounds fair... Anyone interested?!
I've removed the link as I don't think we should be giving ads like that any extra publicity. Feel free to continue discussing the moral dilemma of selling deformed animals!
what I object to is poor quality axolotls being passed on to others (at a premium rate) which may then breed and pass on their crappy genes, downgrading the gene pool of an animal already suffering from excessive inbreeding.
Possitive selection is virtually nonexistent.
I personally think it will be a sad day if wild types are the standard.
Colour availability can be quite localized in the UK, it appears to be dependent on what your local breeders have available.Where I am the wilds seem to be snapped up first.
I really don't care what self righteous reason you have for breeding only wild types (and it is self righteous because it's not like you're going to go release these into Xochimilco) but to shun all other colours and people who like these colours because they're "novelty pets" is not right.
