So first off let me say my axolotls are all in good health. ^.^ But my oldest girl (white Albino) who i bought as a larvea is now 10 years old!! :D

So it just occured to me I have no idea what to do with her once she passes away. (Hopefully not for another 5 years or so!!) What do you do with your axolotls once they pass away??

I don't have axies but I have a backyard where I bury everything. Cats, ferrets, snakes, salamanders, newts. All end up in the Fairy Garden.

Freeze the body first to ensure any pathogens are killed, then you can bury it. Many people have a special place for pet burials, or use a plant pot and plant a memorial plant.

Thank you both for your replies, we move house a lot for my husband's work so I love the idea of putting her in a plant pot so she can stay with us ?

    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?
