My husband and I are in Salem, Oregon. We have a new 2 month old leucistic/GFB axolotl in our home, our first. He has been here two days so far. Here are some pictures.

Awwwee, your axolotls are SO cute! Welcome to Caudata.org! I’m sure you’ll find everyone on this website very helpful :)
Is it alright if I give a quick pointer? I noticed that you have a gravel-like substance in your tank (if I am wrong about that, please correct me). If your axolotl eats it, most likely it will become impacted. I would hate for you to loose your new axies! They are absolutely adorable :) I would recommend taking it out and either replacing it with sand or leaving it bare bottom. Your axolotls would be happy with the tank either way!
Hope this helped! :)

Super cute! Like Isabella said that substrate could be a problem. For juveniles under 5 inches it's best to have no substrate at all. Depending on the size of the substrate it may be fine for adults.

    as long as its not freezing they should ship fine. I usually ship mine in 2 days priorities like axolotl. insulation and some cold pack. Is this morphed or still a larvae?

    I currently have a 3 year old axolotl, he hasn't been eating for the past couple of weeks and has lost a lot of weight. Hedwig usually eats bloodworms and earthworms just fine but now he won't even stud it. I've done a water change to make his nitrate lower and his water is at a good temperature

    Hey guys I was wondering if my axolotl looks fine to you he/she (still don’t know) I’d activate and eating as usual but I did notice veins in the tail area.. let me know what you guys think! Also if anyone could tell if it’s a boy or girl that would be great! (Zolo was eating a worm and pretty sure the worm pooped XD)
