Are leucistic juveniles with gold rimmed eyes normal?

[tgmiller]

Most of my leucistic juveniles have the standard dark on dark eye but I noticed a few weeks ago that I have some whose eyes are gold rimmed, similar to a wild type. Is this normal/common? Thank you!

You know, you may of stumbled across a gold mine here, as far as I know these gold-rimmed eyes are some sort of mutation- not uncommon with breeding axolotls.

I'd do some thourough research, and if these are one-of-a-kind, gold-eyed axolotls might be the next big thing!

Good luck,
Justin.

Yes, these are very normal. Axolotls without gold-rimmed eyes are simply called melanoids. Normal leucistics have gold-rimmed eyes, melanoid leucistics do not.
