Hello caudatians! I am an axolotl owner from western australia and keep a few in an outdoor pond in my backyard. A couple of years ago they surprised me with some eggs and i decided to learn as much as i could about them. From the initial egg surprise I ended up with 18 axolotls (out of hundreds of eggs) and now they have done it again. This time I was more prepared and had put the male and female in a tank, used ice to stimulate the breeding and I am now the proud grandmother of about 500 eggs. I thought i would come online here to share some photos of the egg laying process so I hope people find them interesting. It was fascinating to watch her carefully place each egg upon the leaves of the aquarium plants. How many will i be able to keep alive this time? I hope I have more of a success rate than last time, where a lot of them were eaten by the vicious dragonfly larvae that sneaked in when i wasnt looking. Wish me luck
