Hey :) this is my first post here. I would like to know which kind of type are these axolotls since the owner is not sure whether if they are melanoids or any kind of axanthic since they seem a little gray coloured, if you need more pics of them just let me know. Thanks

They look like regular melanoids to me. A definitive way to see if they're axanthic or not is to shine a black light on them, their skulls will glow a blue color if they are axanthic. It works best the younger they are, so it should show up on these babies if they are axanthic.

Thank you for the advice :) I didn't know about the black light, that will help me a lot. Is there any other way to identify an axanthic axolotl? Is hard to know since many of the information is not available on my Main language and my english is very rusty rn , I appreciate you for replying ☺️ thank You so much
 
I don't fancy your chances of being able to tell they're axanthic that way at this stage. To me they look melanoid, but they definitely look bluer than I'm used to, so I won't dismiss axanthic.
