Don't worry, I'm not asking this because I'm going to take my axie out of the tank.
I was wondering because a few weeks ago, I came home and I found my axolotl on my living room floor. He had jumped out of his tank. There was a wet/slimy spot on the ground just below his container (he was living in a large glass pyrex container for a little while when he was smaller) and I found him about a foot away from that spot (he had apparently wiggled his way around the carpet). I immediately put him back in his container and he was fine. I was out of the house for about 3 hours or so and I have no idea how long he was on the floor for. How long could he have lasted out of water? Because this accident really concerned me and I'm wondering if I made it in just the nick of time...
I also want to know if you guys know why axolotls jump out of their tanks sometimes. I've heard of other axies doing this, is it because they're unhappy? My boyfriend told me it's because he was trying to commit suicide... D: Let me know!
Thanks!
