the brownish spots appear to just be pigmentation, which can develop over time. some axolotls gain pigmentation as they age, and others lose it- both are normal in most cases. however, the grayish coloring along her underbelly and the base of her tail looks as though it could be body fungus. does the gray coloring seem to be fluffy?

if its always there and doesn't look to be fungus, then its probably fine. my axolotl also has a lighter underbelly- i just mentioned yours because of the way the coloration spreads to the base of her tail.
that said, i'm not concerned about any illnesses or injuries here, it seems to just be pigmentation!
