Hey, so i have a 2 year old leucistic axolotl and i'm worried he is too small, when i bought him from the breeder she said he was the runt, and right now he is only a little over 2 inches. I feed him earthworms in cut up pieces, every other day. i'm a little worried.

So sorry! I meant 4 inches, not 2 inches!! so sorry! i got him four months ago and the previous owner/breeder said he was close to 2 years, and that he was the runt and would get blocked from the food by the others.

    It’s very dry in Colorado. I make sure to spritz every night so while I’m sleeping. I have a nifty hydrometer that I got from Walmart. It tells me blue, green, red; too little humid, good, too much respectively. It’s been helpful to me.

    Hey y'all, recently my juvenile axolotl's tail has been floating and can swim down but his tail lifts to an angle and I believe that it is stressing him out. He gets in between his plants to balance himself and I am cleaning out the bottom of the tank with my baster. I believe I overfed him and he also may have eaten many air bubbles. He's been like this for nearly 1 1/2 days.
