What's on its head

[Crystal701]

I picked up two new axolotls yesterday and made sure all the water was correct before placing them in. I might just be going over protective but one of the axolotls I got is missing it's front right leg and it's head has these black small dots.

I was just wondering if I should worry about the dots or no

Here are the other two photos that didn't show for some reason

Hi don't worry about its leg it will regrow over time and the black dots will most likely just be markings like how cats and dogs would have spots if black fur Xx

Don't worry! ? More than likely the little guy will grow their limb back completely fine, and the dots are just colour markings! If you google Axolotls with freckles lots of them have black or brown spotted markings on their faces and bodies.

Both of my leucistics have freckles. :happy:

Okay thanks guys. I'm just worried since I did have a axolotl from egg and it passed when it was 3 weeks old...

I never knew axolotls had freckles but now I know. Thanks again for the people who replied.

Here is a picture of my other leucistic. He has darker markings than the other one.
Only albinos have no pigments, leucistics do, so can show dark markings (or not) on their body.
