Yes, you appear to have a leucistic axolotl. Why do you think otherwise?

Yeah. Leucistics have albino-like skin, but have black eyes.

I kinda figured, but a lot of the time when you're looking at them you get a pink reflection off the back of the eye... So I wasn't too sure. I've got two and they're both only about 3 inches...so they don't have the largest eyes in the world. Good to know though!

This is just a reflection of the retina. If it was albino, it would not have any dark pigments (melanophores) at all. Definitely a leucistic - and a nice one if I dare say so.
