I noticed with this one axolotl he seems to have one eye that is smaller than the other and has a much wider tail than some of the other axies i have from the same clutch. Also the space between his limbs also seems to be smaller. Is this some sort of mutation i’m quite curious

The wide tail and stocky body are normal variations - there's nothing wrong with that (just like some humans are taller or broader than others).

The small eye does seem like a misgrowth or mutation. It's probably not entirely healthy. I'd be curious to see if this stays the same while the axolotl matures.
 
Duchessezz, do you have any current photos? I’m interested in how your baby is doing.
