My new axolotl, Chalfie!

I got Chalfie about 5 days ago at the Repticon show in Tampa, FL. He is a wild-type GFP axolotl and is named after Martin Chalfie, one of the scientists that won the Nobel Prize for his work on GFP. He was a little shy at first, but now is very active and eating like a piggy!

Handsome lil' devil

He's a cutie! But try and limit your axolotls exposure to the blacklights as it is extremely stressful for them.

He is really cute, although yeh try and reduce the lights as I heard that the insides of their eyes also glow and can have a serious effect on them.

Aww, he's sweet. I like the pyramid decoration, very appropriate for a Mexican critter!

Of course, I really only turned the light for the pictures, and then only for a min or so.
