I caught this southern leopard today and noticed he had a pretty unique eye mutation--at least it is new to me. Any ideas? It reminds me of the "snake eye" gene in leopard geckos. He also has some blue flecking on his back.

its most likely from chemicals in the water when it was a tad. there is no sign of trauma. I would definitely keep it cause it looks really cool though :)

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
