Freeky - I am very pleased he's doing well. I was a little worried when you initially contacted me and we made the call that he really was metamorphosing that he wouldn't live very long. I'm pleased that he has flourished. I wanted to ask you two questions:
1) Can I use your photo in this thread on my axolotl site please? I will of course give you credit. 2) What forum are people giving you a hard time on? I am curious. Feel free to post a link (normally this is frowned upon but I'm requesting it please ![]() Regarding the great link to Tim Burkhardt's photos of Ambystoma velasci, look at the toes - looks like a missing link between USA tiger toes and axolotl toes.

(theperson i brought it from) do your own research. in just 1 - 2 weeks i did this .. and i felt incredibly guilty. (sorry for spelling!!!) |

I think the lifespan of a naturally morphed axolotl is significantly higher than one that is forced to metamorph. If chemicals are used to morph an axolotl, that means they cannot create these chemicals themselves, and will probably die much more quickly than those that morph naturally, and can create their own chemicals.
Don't let people get you down. You're doing a good job.

I've added/am adding one of your photos to the axolotl site (I'm doing some fixes and updates to that whole site right now).

Those photos of Mexican Tiger salamanders aren't representative - those animals have a lot less spotting than most photos of velasci.

Please, the purpose of this site is to provide authoritative information. Calling them lizards just brings the whole thing down. They are not lizards/reptiles, they are amphibians, a completely different class of animal. This is talked about on the front of the Axolotl Site, http://www.axolotl.org.

I saw this YouTube video awhile ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0BanyQyc3Q. Since this seems to be the morphed axie section, I thought I'd post it here. Since the text is German, I don't know for certain, but it looks like an axolotl morph. I was surprised to see it eat non-live stationary food.
_____________________________ I just saw this post, and just wanted to say that it's tough to say how representative they are/aren't. It could just be that most velasci pictures come from one particular known or accessible region. Most likely, like our tigers, the Mexicans probably have a range of patterning. Photos from several regions may be the most representative. |

It ate a pellet!! I allways thought when they morphed they would stop eating pellets and go for just live foods. Well I learned something

Its very unusual for this to happen. Freeky's was kept at one point in rather poor water conditions which may have triggered this .
