Hi there,

I just thought I'd share pics of my Wildtype, who has decided in his old age to change his colour! This started about a year ago ...

He is completely healthy, eats plenty of worms and he still chases the female Leucistic every now and again .. the usual happy axolotl life :p

This is him about 2 years ago

He still has his markings, they are just really light. He also has a brown outline around his tail. Photo's don't do him justice!

Thanks for the comments, sorry it's been a while since I last logged on.

Unfortunately this li'l guy passed away last Christmas and I don't have any other pictures showing his colour change.

He looked very light like a Leucistic but with his wildtype markings :eek:
