What a fantastic outcome! Your dedication to Neptune has ended with the best results possible. You're an inspiration to all of us axolotl owners! 
The vet used dissolvable standard sutures....they were purple, and took about 4 months to dissolve (and his wound to heal.) Now you can barely even make out his surgery scar!
We are still awaiting hatching.... eggs have been transferred into separate containers. So far, so good.roud:

Aww what a touching and gut-wrenching post!! It was the most suspensful thing I've ever read ahhh! Bren, Neptune is so lucky to have you! I'm so glad he made it and is now a daddy!! What a great read!! Thanks for all the pictures and the uplifting story!
Truly inspirational about a little auxie with the will to live and a loving mom!

So I thought I'd post some pictures. First, of Neptune, so you can see how well his surgery scar has healed. In the first picture, you can see a diagonal white line in his side....that's the scar.
And I should add that the 2nd picture features "rocks" that he can eat: sinking carnivore pellets. : )
Next: a few of the pictures of the babies. Most of the larger ones are regular colored; there are golden ones (which have been separated out due to size.) There also appears to be an "albino" possibly, not sure yet. Hatching brine shrimp non-stop!
And the last picture is of Neptune with Marian, the love of his life. Soon he'll be returning back to college with her.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
