He/she has the white spots from it's head to it's tail & on both sides. Do you think it is a harlequin, calico, or just has a pigment disorder that makes it unique? The picture is in artificial light but in sun light there is more yellow.

We've seen this type of thing before - you have a wildtype that has the axie version of vitiligo. Nothing to worry about - unusual but harmless.
 
She's beautiful! Thanks for the pics, and I would love to see updated ones as it matures. That is a unique animal. :happy:

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
