Hello everyone!

I haven't posted here since 2015, lols!

I wanted to share a few pictures of Mowgli. He's 8 years old now and growing older and older. I never noticed how much he's grown until I came across these old baby pictures of him. Where has the time gone? Lols. If I had the ability to make axolotls live forever, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Very cool! Your axolotl looks amazing!

My oldest axolotl is a leucistic and is 12 years old! She lived through all my beginner mistakes and is still alive and kicking. She started developing a dark patch on her back a year or so ago. Funny that yours is doing the same!

    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?
