Hi All,

As promised, here are some photos of Aragorn and Arwen who have settled in well after their arrival yesterday.

The first pic is of Arwen doing a rather spiffy rendition of 'Cleopatra' - if only she had a worm she would have had the ideal prop ;)

Apologies for the quality of the photo of Arwen in the cave hollow - it was night and I did not wish to alarm her with a flash - she looked so cute I could'nt resist the photo oppurtunity though.

The third pic is of my babies together - hope they don't grow up TOO fast however, as I am OUT OF TANKS! :eek:

Cheers Jacq.

Wow they are beautiful..... How old are they? I cant wait till mine get bigger. They are only 2 1/2 inches long right now..
 
They're gorgeous. :)
 
So cute!!!
 
they look pretty mature, is it?
i read in somewhere saying if their toe tip start to get darker color, means its mature?
correct me if i'm wrong

Hi Lazylilsnoop,

Yes, the toe going dark in Albinos and Leucistics means maturity, for a melanoid or wild type the toes going pale means maturity.

An axie can be sexually mature from 5 months of age - 5 months is still 'juvenile' stage however.

Cheers Jacq.

PS. I've got axies who are about 5 years of age - they will always be babies to their 'mother' however ;)

    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?
