Bindi, my axolotl

[Binditheaxolotl]

What happened to my little 3 inch baby? I noticed shes started to develop more melanoid spots on her other side, and this interesting coloration on her tail! She came to me at 3 inches and skinny, and she’s now 7 1/2 and chunky she’s not even close to a year yet! And yes, she’s in a glass jar being very stealthy.

Beautiful, she is very stealthy! That growth is insane! I notice with caudated, especially the wonderful Ambystomidae, that if not raised with extreme attention and care than switched to being raised with attention and care they can skyrocket in growth! for example, my A. tigrinum is part of a set of four, three of which are still in the care of the large nature center I got them from. he is surpassed 10 inches this year, 3 yrs old, but the four there are only 5-6 inches and the same age. (I haven't seen them in a while. They may be larger.)

Whoops sorry! I must admit, my axolotl is the only amphibian/salamander I’ve owned, so I don’t know many scientific names
