Hi everybody!
My axolotls have recently reached maturity and I did not realize one was male and one was female until they had babies! I had an idea that they were male/female, but I wanted to wait for them to finish maturing to be certain. Apparently they were both already mature and I was just in denial! Haha!
Anyway, I wanted to ask a couple questions which may be odd to post in this section, but I don't really know where to post these... :uhoh:
Question #1:
How often do/can axolotls breed?
-I ask this because my pair had their first clutch just 2 weeks ago and I woke up this morning to find Kip (my female) laying eggs again! Isn't this kinda odd? Shouldn't it take awhile for Kip to produce more eggs?
Question #2:
Will a tank divider be enough to keep them from successfully breeding?
Question #3:
Does anybody know where I can find a tank divider or know any good DIYs?
-I've looked everywhere, but I can't find one that fits my tank. My tank is 20"x20". I saw one DIY of making one from plastic cross stitch canvas, but cannot find (again) the right size material.
Question #4:
Is there somewhere I can put these eggs up for sale?
-As a newbie, I can't handle raising 2 clutches and I really don't want to cull them.
Question #5:
Any advice on how to go about shipping those eggs?
-I read somewhere about putting them in bottles to ship them. Since they're still eggs, would they need an air pocket? Or can I fill it completely with water?
Thanks for an answers you can provide! I'm a bit in over my head with this as the holidays are approaching and I've got a very young ferret to take care of on top of all these axie babies! If you'd be interested in some eggs just message me!
