Do all axolotls have 5 fingers on their back feet and 4 on their front feet or is it just mine? Something i've wondered since I got them! If it's all axolotls, then why is this? :D
 
I'm pretty sure its 4 front 5 back
BUT if your axie regrows a limb funny it can be different
Like one of my axies has 6 toes on one hind leg and one has 2 toes on its back leg
Another has 5 toes in the front (they were all missing legs when I got them)
 
Yep, 4 front, 5 back.

Or things will end up funny like this:

Some axolotls hatch with deformities, one of which can be extra or missing digits. Injury to a limb can result in odd regenerations, in my friends petshop he had an axolotl which had its leg almost severed, it actually grew an additional leg.
 
Regeneration isn't perfect; I found an eastern newt with 2 tails once.
