What happened to your axolotl that turned into a turtle???

my beloved boba-
she was a rescue//rehab female that i received my sophomore year. i ended up taking her along with her tank mate/"sister," jello for several months. probably took about a year total to completely fix them, but they were only living in my home for probably ~six months.
both of them were pretty severely ill, and it was a lot of work caring for both of them along with my personal axolotl, pictured above. i feel i should also mention that i was extremely ill at the time, and recovering from the effects of chemotherapy. i'm also disabled, and have mental health issues. all of that combined with the pressure of school and work got to me, and it didn't take long for me to realize i wasn't the best home for them long-term. i ended up teaching a close friend about them and their needs, and even went supply shopping with her. eventually, once her tanks were all set up and cycled, i rehomed them into her care.
i miss my girls a lot, but understand that i was not in a position to be able to care for all three of them at that time. it was best for her and her "sister"

p.s.
doing better now!! off chemo and my hair is back, mental health is generally better and i went to treatment for three months this spring. i am also in communication with detectives and CAN (child abuse network,) to hopefully put some terrible people away.

The tank looks really good and it also looks so clean! :] Might I ask why you decided to switch to bare bottom?

i'm currently in a weird living situation and can't take mudkip with me, so she's living at my parents house. removing the substrate was a way to ensure the tank stays cleaner and also prevent the possibility of bad spots underneath the sand :)
