Look at my cute little babies (they're not actually babies, but they'll always be my babies). I post pictures of them on Facebook constantly, but I don't think I had posted pictures of my new juveniles on Caudata yet. Admire the cuteness!

My original male wild type (very dark, but he's wild type and heterozygous for copper), Titus. He's big and usually a bit cranky, especially since I put him alone in a 20 gallon.


My three fairly new juveniles whose gender I should be able to determine fairly soon:

Apollos, the big old leucistic with the cute little freckles, always friendly and interactive.

Artemis, the adorable little frog-faced wild type, who has recovered quite nicely from a nipped gill, and

Xenas, the pale albino (We're actually not sure of the genotype and specific phenotype. Definitely not melanoid since the gill stalks are so shiny, and probably not golden albino since there's no gold coloration to be seen).

I got Titus from Bette (Lady Aquarius on here, Aquarius Axolotls on Facebook), and I got my three juveniles (they're all full siblings from the same clutch) from Melloney (A Lotta Axolotl on Facebook). There are lots of awesome breeders out there, and I just gave you two examples. Every once in a while I try to let them both know how much I appreciate them for my beautiful axolotls
:happy:

    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?
