Thats the sort of thing that happens when an axie grows back toes that have been lost . Sometimes they grow an extra one or two, sometimes they grow at odd angles.

One of my axies has a backwards toe. There is a pic on here somewhere of an axie who grew a whole extra leg.
 
As long as it doesn't bother her its fine. Did she ever loose a leg?
 
I adopted an axie who has a foot double as wide because it regrew funny. The more often the limb is removed the more likely it is to grow back odd. I'd say your little one lost it at least a few times, but it looks like it's growing back great! I've never noticed it bothering my boy, he doesn't move as graceful but he's still sweet.

I saw an axolotl in a friends pet shop who had a partially severed leg, it regrew an additional one out of the wound
 
Yeah,that doesn't look right at all.looks like the little fellow has over a dozen toes.sort of resembles a sea anemone growing out of a foot.
 
My female axolotl has five gills on one side (only three on the other) because she lost two of them to predatory frogs before I got her, and they grew back forked. Yours seems to have a really extreme version of this sort of thing going on, but its just a normal part of having an animal with extreme regenerative capacity - sometimes they regenerate too much!

I saw view it as a charming eccentricity. It makes her unique :)
 
Is it possible to 'over-regenerate',I mean almost to the point of beyond recognition?

  • Katia Del Rio-Tsonis:
    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
