Good point! Twins have occurred a couple times in my mother's family. Every time I've become pregnant, I think... could very well be twins! Not yet though! Lol

Update on the chimera from the eggs I sold. She says it's 3" now.

Ok, I finally got a chance to take some new pics of Gem! He (or she!) is doing great now, eating like a champ and growing quickly all of a sudden. I soooo love this little axie, and hope that it continues to do well! :happy: I believe that it is now at least 2 inches. I just posted the updated pics in my photo gallery, but here are some for the thread as well:

Gorgeous! That color is getting more and more defined as it grows.

Thank you! I'm so excited to see how it turns out!:D

You know, I think that there was actually another chimera in the batch, but it was very tiny & died from a prolapse I think :(. And unfortunately, I didn't get any pics of it.

    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?
