Axolotl or....?

[xXxKatrinaxXx]

Hello,

I have what I thought were three Axolotl's, however one has started to change quite a bit. Feathers have disappeared, tail is rounding out, and is spotted. What do you all think is going on?

Thanks

You need to get a terrestrial setup ready ASAP. You probably have tiger salamanders, but I'm not over familiar with them so I can't say for certain but someone else on the forum more knowledgeable will probably reply soon. Regardless you definitely have salamanders of some kind transitioning to being terrestrial.

I do currently have another area for that little one to get to that should be up and running tonight.

Looks like a tiger to me. You should provide a ramped land area and see. I bet he'll start staying out of the water and that'll tell you for sure.

I would say they are all tigers. Lower the water to maybe 6 inches, and as they others say,some sort of land area. The following links are very useful and will help you with the next steps.

Also read through the section further down the main page for Tiger salamanders as there is some good advice there too Tigers are great
