Hi friends,
My Lotte died a couple of weeks ago, quite suddenly and without warning. I had her little body sent to a specialist for autopsy. The diagnosis was that she had died of acute inflamation of her oviduct (Salpingitis) and ensuing sepsis. The diagnosis states that such an inflamation is often the result of excessive reproduction.
Lotte was of the type of axolotl that breeds constantly throughout the year - every three weeks, once even the day after the last batch had hatched. There was no rest period and no slow period in her breeding. She only stopped because I separated her and the male into two different tanks. Lotte had been living without male company since October 2008.
Has anyone else information or experience on this?
