Hello, I am Lan/ or setlandon. I am a new owner of an axolotl named Digger. This site and a few others linked directly to it have been extraordinarily valuable over the past week. I hadn't planned to get an axolotl- I have adored them since i was in my early teens and saw a wild- type pair on display at the zoo.. I wound up spending most of the trip there watching them and as such had to pick them as my topic for the assignment.

I also tend to scribble stylistic axolotls when writing notes to people I'm familiar with.
which ties back to my now owning an axolotl. My brother asked if i wanted a pet, I immediately said no, then he said "what if its one of those ax things and someone's saying they are gonna release it". I might've ranted on how horrible someone would have to be to even suggest that and when I got home from work the next evening there was a faint whirring noise in my room and an axolotl in a tank.

I had genuinely believed the pet question was in regards to an ongoing cats in our home where he and my other family breed bearded dragons is a nightmare in the making.

All of my info on Digger is third hand, he is three years old, was being fed a diet of only bloodworms which I'm expanding to other foods. The owner abandoned him at an ex-girlfriend's who was terrified of him and my brothers drove several hours away to get him he was in a disposable margarine tub when they arrived. He is leucistic and energetic since expanding his diet. I've been killing trees working out how to make his tank better.
