Just curious if you guys think this is a wild, I'm fairly sure but really have no idea how to tell wilds from melanoids - noob.

Wilds have a gold ring around their eye, melanoids lack this quality and is all black eyes. They also lack iridophores, which are shiny reflective gold splodges :). I would say yours is a wild but not sure can't really see his eyes. They look kinda green. And his gills are outrageous!
 
Looks like a wildtype. Can you get a different angle on his eyes? They look like they miiiiggghhht be green, which would indicate a GFP.
 
oh yes! I apologize, I also know he is a GFP. I don't see any gold rings, would that be because of the GFP?

I will try to get a better picture and yes her (I'm hoping) gills are freaking amazing! they have grown a ton since I got her and are now curling over!
 
Like I said, probably a wildtype, but take a small flashlight and shine it over the axolotl's body. Sometimes direct light is the only way to really see iridophores, but honestly I've never seen a melanoid with that kind of coloring.

Absolutely amazing I'm so jealous. I love the crazy-professor gill look :lol: what's her name?
 
Puck! How could I not introduce her properly, guys this is my little Puck =)

If I could figure out how to get my stupid phone to transfer my pictures to the computer I could show you all my babies much easier, now I am up'ing them to facebook, downloading them, and putting them here.. a chore haha

Well, I don't see a gold ring in the eyes but I certainly can see some iridophores on the gills with this led flashlight I have, along with can see who's GFP and who's not, this is awesome!
