I just saw a great show about the Axolotl. This guy named Nick Baker, who goes around the world looking for wierd creatures, goes to Mexico and searches for wild axolotls. He not only finds one and shows their threats in the wild, but he actually gets to see a very rare axolotl which has fully metamorphosized. Defiantly worth the watch.
It airs on the science channel; I'll see if I can record it next time and put it on Youtube.

Sounds like my kinda program! I like watching 'Deadly 60' too - often on CBBC with Steve Backshall; he finds some pretty weird and wonderful (and deadly!) creatures on his travels! :)
 
Re: Nick Baker's Weird Creatures: Axolotols

there was a post about this a while back, never seen the show though - couldnt find it anywhere online :(
 
It's sad just how polluted it is there.... You wonder how ANY creature could survive in that filth, let alone such an adorable axie!

I was thinking that same thing...
 
thank you! been hunting for ages! Does anyone know if there is a longer exert? Surely there has to be more on these beauties!

Edit: there is, it is just where to find it! 'Axolotl
The Axolotl is a type of salamander that Nick has kept as a pet for two decades. He learns about its unique biology that holds great promise for medical science, and discovers how Mexico City's development has driven this creature to the edge of extinction.' suggests more hunting must be done!
 
I have found a torrent for the full episode!

Sadly no one is streaming it at the momment, However i wont be deleting it from my torrent list in the hope that someone turns on their pc long enough for me to download it then i will stream it for you lot :D

been waiting around 2 weeks and nothing yet :(
 
Nick was on Caudata.org about 18 months ago talking about his hellbender episode and also talking about ideas for the axolotl episode. Glad to see the axolotl episode has aired. I believe his member name here is nick the bug guy or something similar.

    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?
