Saw a very curious thing at an aquarium shop today… 6 MORPHED axies!
For sale as “salamanders” (no reference to axolotls) @ $150 each –
We found it very puzzling since we have never seen morphed axies for sale in any pet shop here, and by all accounts it is quite a rare occurrence… What is even more odd is that the store (conveniently?) had an entire range of colours on offer – wild-type, melanoid black, olive-brown and also white (with beautiful yellow spots.)
Our question is this: What are the chances of this being a natural freak occurrence? Is there someone doing some “backyard science” with iodine? Is this ethical/legal? Are we just overly suspicious?
