How tame is your axie?

[Danilugosi]

I have a leuci that's about 6 inches, not sure of the age but we've had him since March. I've noticed a definite personality more so in the last month! My little Juan seems to be taking more notice of my partner and I and is super friendly. Lately he's been watching us, following us and interacting. We like to think that he is just attention seeking and not thinking its feeding time - it's cuter that way.

Last night I dangled my fingers in the tank (it's about 140L, 3ft long) and he came up for a play. I made sure I got this glory on video!

I can't express how much something that does so little in life can make me so happy and proud. I do believe the bane of his existence is all about being so damn cute!

The only downfall of having an axie is that we can't cuddle him on the couch like we do our snake.

I'll edit and post my video on Instagram (@danilugosi) because I just love the axie dance.

Post your stories here, I want to read them!!

Here's a pic just for the cuteness, I think it's every axie owners fantasy.

Mine does the same I am @axolotlparadise on IG btw. I actually think my axolotls can be a little creepy sometimes, especially when I'm home alone and they all just stair in the same direction. But I love it when they come up to the surface to say hello :)

My older lotl always comes up to the glass if she sees me, whether she's hungry or not - she tries to follow me around the room if i leave

I'm not sure if they're simply driven by hunger, but both of my axies are very curious, and curiosity seems to be innate to the species. At least we humans can form bonds with our axies because they appear to be playful or friendly, and I assume the axolotls gain something from the stimulation.
