Here is what can happen if an axolotl jumps out of its tank.
it was found yesterday on the floor all curled up in a small bundle looking extremely sorry for itself, all dried out. It had been out of water for nearly 10 hours.
it was put in a fresh tub of clean water and here is what it looks like a day later, it actually survived. Some tend to die within hours of putting back in water but this little one survived although looks extremely poor looking.
As you can see its gills are facing forward meaning its severely stressed and tail still curled but not as bad as it was.
attached is 2 images and one video.
