Oh WOW! The coloring on them is amazing! I have never seen that before. Adorable!
 
Looks kind of piebald? No?

Absolutly stunning!
 
Haha Thanks, I was told theyre Piebald last night. I got him when he was like 1 1/2-2 Inches long and was just a normal leucistic Axolotl. Hes gotten used to me, comes to be begging for food lol. I just found some spots of gold and metallic green, its so qt haha. I was wondering about the worth but am not planning to sell or anything. Anyway, Im Getting My Tiger Sal on Tuesday :D Heres some more Pics, Its Wildtype Tank mate is hiding again. Also a pic of the 20 Long Theyre Both In.

If all my babies werent so time consuming and i had exams soon i would so be telling everyone that they have to wait a bit longer for their axolotls because its possible that i have some piebald babies :D
Mine are almost 2" now and all my leucistic have a lot of black spots on them. I mean its possible they arent but im leaning more towards maybe?. A few have lost the coloration over the last month but some are the same. Actually when they first hatched we thought they were all light melanoids but since theyve grown we knkw they are leucies.

They are going to homes the weekend of the 20th and we will have 6left so they will be the melanoid we are keeping, the one we have with a spine abnormality and 4leucies lol.

I know that other piebald reptiles/caudates are worth more but im not sure about axolotls. I think they are absolutly stunning so if we do end up with piebalds they are staying with us(if all 4are piebald i may end up selling two just because i already have two juveniles too) i would be charging more not because they are piebald but because by the time i sell them they will be bigger(im only charging 10$ each for my babies but its because most are buying 4+)

How old/big were they before they started to exhibit the black on them?
 
Well, i didnt raise them from eggs. They were about 1 1/2 -2 inches when i got them and started to get spots around 4/5 inches. (Piebalds worth more than $10 cx) But yours may become piebald or just heavily/lightly spotted.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
