today my white female laying half-black&white eggs ,
2 males one white and one wild-type ,this is their first breeding ,i havent seen any spermatophores in the tank do you think that the eggs are fertile ????

The black half is called the 'animal pole', and is what will develop into an axolotl. Unfertile eggs are all white. Congrats!

i hope you are right
but here

you can see that eggs are entirely white

I was worrying about this too... but from my (very recent) experience... all the half black, half white eggs that my lady laid all seem to be 'growing' at a substantial rate... the ones that were all white, or black or grey haven't... and have been 'disposed' of...

The eggs in the picture were albinos. That's why there was no black.

5 days ,they are fertile great!!!their are grey ,the female is white ,do you think that ,somes become white ?

I think they'll probably all be wildtype, but sometimes you have to wait until they get bigger to determine their phenotype. You may get some white ones. When they get bigger, by the time they start growing legs, you should know for sure.
