Two Mudpuppy questions

[firebellynewt84]

1. Has anyone ever kept an albino or a leucistic or any other strange type of coloring of a Mudpuppy?

2. Is it possible to induce Iodine to make a Mudpuppy morph like an Axolotl? Or is it literally impossible to make a Mudpuppy morph? (I have no intention of doing this, just a question)

1. Not that I know of, although I'm sure albinos, melanistic etc ones occur from time to time.

2. No, Axolotls are the over grown larvae of a species very closely related to modern Tiger Salamanders. A Mudpuppy is already morphed from it's larval stage, it just keeps it's gills as an adult due to it's aquatic lifestyle.
