Hey all :) I've been on here for quite a few months but I realized last night I haven't posted many pictures of my axies all grown up! SO I thought I'd post some and let you guys see them :)
30gallon: Kit (Albino Male), Kip (Albino Female), and Glenn (Melanoid Female {P.S, I know it's a guys name but I don't feel like changing it :p}) I'm hoping to have my two albino's breed, and all 3 are 7" big.
20gallon: Axel (Wild-type male) and Kirby (Leucistic something) <-- Kirby was deformed at birth and I adopted 'him'. Kirby is stunted and has tiny limbs. 'His' stunted finger tips have darkened and look like nail polish, so i'm assuming that means he is sexually mature??:confused: P.S, if anyone could hopefully tell me what gender Kirby is, I'd be eternally grateful! Kirby is 6" and Axel is 8".
Enjoy the pics! :D

I had one of those fake coconut hides for a few weeks. Then the inside paint started to flake off in really large, thick chips. Yours might be different than what I bought, but still something to keep an eye out for.
 
Yep! Kirby is a Leucistic. The best way to tell is to look at his eyes. If they are black he still has some pigments showing up in his genetics. Those little dots are just some of his pigment coming through. A lot of Leucistic will develop spots only on the top of their bodies. Mine has the same little freckles on her face too.

Can you get a clearer picture of Kirby's cloacal region (the spot right behind his back legs)?

    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?
