Ambystoma gracile moprhing

I have 2 of my little guys left, they are morphing a little slower then the other 2 that got relocated. These 2 I may keep, as one seems to be very light colored and smaller, and the other just has personality.

I was wondering why the fact sheet on cc was so blank... I suppose there are other resources such as amphibiaweb. One thing I have noticed, is that they get very shy and skittish after morphing.

Heres a picture http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c291/Jeffnewtboy/LONGSN.jpg

I see paris has raised some of these, as well as pam, anyone else have any advice? They love the blackworms and setup btw, more pictures to come

Just a quick update, the final 2 I still have, one morphed and he is good, but one did not morph is getting huge and doing amazing in his tank. I added even more plants, duckweed, and wood and it looks great in there. blackworms are really making this guy freindly, he is now trained to take food from a baster. About the size of a young axolotl and not slowing down at all. I hope the he(I think he) stays neotenic for a long time still. I do plan on getting some pictures when I get the camera back.

    @The-Axolotl, im a hug energy when it comes to axolotls, and decided i might as well “shoot my shot” and try to make a living out of it. lots of inspiration taken from margie, who used to breed and sell here on caudata- she was raising about 1000 juveniles at a time, which is my end goal
