I have posted before - though my axolotls have aged a bit more now..
I'm wondering if anybody would be kind enough to offer their opinions please :)

I have three axolotls, im not 100% on their actual age, however they are between 5-7 inches

The oldest is the albino, then the light wild type (has an extremely wide + large head) with the dark wildtype the youngest.

:happy:

Attached pictures will offer a better view, let me know what you think please :) im intregued to know if anybody can tell yet :) (both the albino + light wild types toes suggest sexual maturity is present)

The albino looks like a young male, to me. I'm tending towards female for the wildtype in photo "img_2245". Not sure about the other wildtype...need more photos.

If you take some further photos of the axolotls, from above and looking down on their hindquarters (between the back legs and base of tail), that will also help us identify the gender as a mature males cloaca bulge is quite distinct.

Fun, isn't it? ;)
 
I agree, the Albino definitely looks male to me. The smaller wild type looks female and I'd say the bigger wild type could be a male.
