Wow, golden albino too. Doesn't seem to have a problem finding food does it?
 
wow!.... No eyes?? yeah as Mik says is he/she able to find food ok?

Whats he/her name?
 
I saw one of them on the Indiana axolotl colony under the Genetic mutation section.
 
Kind of a correlary to this topic: I have a small, very dark wildtype. I originally assumed it was melanoid because it had no eye-sheen. However, when it got bigger (it did not grow as fast as its siblings, and is still a 'runt'), I realized it doesn't have irises, and has tiny little pupils. They're very small, and do not appear to be functional.

There is no mention of the parents or any other offspring having the same problem. Genetics or development issues? Getting pictures of it is very hard, since it is so dark. I am almost certain that it is a wildtype now because it does have some gold sheen to the gillstalks. However, because it's so dark, maybe axanthism? What's the probability of this? And could the eye-issue be related to axanthism?

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
