I bought my first axolotl from a pet expo in February. He was around 3-4 inches long then. The guy didn't seem like answering my questions and just wanted the money so I have no information on how old he is. He's around 6.5 inches now.
I recently bought 2 juveniles from a very well informed owner who tried breeding for the first time, and the two I got from her were born in this last October, so I know how old they are. They were around 2 inches when I got them late March, but they've already caught up to my other guy in size--much quicker to grow than my first axie.
I read somewhere that you can tell that they're mature when the tips of the toes start to darken, but of course, the one I'm curious about is black in color.
Is there a way to tell if an axie is mature when they are darker?
Thanks. :happy:
