I have 2 Axolotls I just adopted from a close friend. My friend noticed that these 2 Axolotls didn't use their back legs. One of the individuals has a real bad deformity of the legs. Its legs are growing crossing each other. Its good that these guys still have use of their front limbs, and all their other senses seem to be there. Don't fret these guys eat like monsters and seem to be very healthy. These guys are special and very keen. I want to show everyone that even if an Axolotl has a defect it can still overcome it. Here are the pics!

I bought a bunch of terribly inbred axolotls that had legs like that from a breeder in Chicago. Surprisingly, even though the females' legs crossed over their cloacas, they were still able to pick up spermatophore, but then laid eggs in clumps on their feet!
