I just discovered today that my male notopthalmus viridescens has FIVE fingers on his right hand!

Anyone else have any "special" pets with extra digits/heads/tails, or maybe one less something than they should have? Better yet, any photos to go along with your post?
 
Ok, THAT'S definitely freaky. Although I heard somewhere that Marilyn Monroe had 6 toes on each foot(?).
 
Ah, ok---I was always curious about the validity of that Marilyn Monroe rumor....

Mike, do you have a photo of Mole? He sounds like a special little dude indeed

i have one of a popei larva with a little something growing out of his/her tail. its not a full extra tail but it affects the tail bone because you can see it bend there. i am unsure what it is, but it has no digits and is after the pelvic region-so im leaning more towards it being a second tail.(but placement isnt always a clue-there was a 3 legged man who had a thumb growing out of his knee)

That is so neat---I'm thinking because of the shape of it that it looks like an extra tail more than anything (but, maybe it's an extra head or something?!!). Are you going to keep the guy and see what it looks like when morphed?

my boyfriend swears that my california newt has four fingers on one hand and five fingers with a thumb like thing on the other. I can't tell, but he's dead set on it.....
 
Hmm, gonna hafta get the magnifying glass out on this! I'll try as soon as I can get ahold of a camera again to get a photo of mine with the five fingers, maybe you can compare....
 
Woah, AWESOME!! This would make excellent desktop wallpaper....
 
The eyeless gene in axolotls is of a genetic origin and such animals remain infertile.. so I hope you don't intendto breedwith it . I have a white onel ike this with a blakc head and some golden eyeless... It's incredible to see, but if you let a worm drop towards their head they actually snap at it even far before the worm reaches their head, as if they have eyes

    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?
