Looking Lottie and Dash today, i realised that they seem to be developing to look like very different species, strange because well... they're the same species.
Lottie is turning into an axolotl looking creature with long thin limbs that she always has spread out. But Dash , despite being larger than Lottie, has normal front legs, but his back legs are short and thick and always tucked right in to his tail.
Water conditions as a factor are eliminated at the moment, i posted all the details in a previous post but for the last couple of weeks they have been fridged (on its lowest power setting, with a towel around them so they don't get too cold) and the water has been charged once at least, sometimes twice, a day, always dechlorinated and aged.
So i guess my question is, is it possible for axolotls to have genetic defects that would cause something like this?
Also if a breeder was inexperienced for instance, the eggs were an unexpected accident, or the parents were juveniles, could this have an effect on any batches of babies?
Thank you.
