I was wondering if anyone had any pictures of a harlequin axolotl. I just heard out about this type and am interested in seeing one. I know they are rare so i just want to see a picture of one. Thanks, Jordan
Harlequins differ from piebalds in that the piebald is usually white with largish black 'splotches', whereas the harlequin is most commonly gold with smaller black 'dots' all over them, rather than just in one area, like the piebalds.
I do have a picture of a harlequin somewhere... I'll have to find it for u.
Mind you that harlequin and piebald are not reserved for just axolotls. Any animal can be harlequin or piebald. We had a large piebald deer who was half white (the rear end, unfortunately) and then normal colored in the front. In Michigan, albino animals are protected. According to the state's rules, any animal exhibiting any degree of albinism (piebalds, we had piebald horse who was white, red eyes, brown just on the tip of his ears) are protected.
I know a book that you can see cool coloured axolotls in its called axolotl care and breeding in captivity by Peter W. Scott. It has heaps of good info too. so you should check it out.
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?
