Andersoni, Axolotl or a hybrid?

Just wanted to give you a picture update on Skittles. She is starting to regrow toes and gills! Still as golden as usual :happy:

My wildtype axolotl has coloring just like this one, minus the gold.

I saw your pics on facebook, I was quite surprised to see some people claiming that this animal was pure A.andersoni and in the process of morphing, has it morphed yet ?

On facebook? haha where on facebook? And no, Skittle isn't in the process of morphing, today I have owned her for 1 months And her gills are in the process of growing back. It looks so funny now, because some of the "hair" on her gills grows faster then others so she have a few long ones just pointing out randomly

I did check on fb but couldn't see the post.

Just wanted to add a new update. Skittles gills are almost fully back now

Skittles looks very Andersoni-ish to me.

looks to me as a andersoni /cross copper axolotl ,markings of andersoni ,semi but not full web rear feet ,its pretty though ,a guy i know keeps andersoni in salt/brackish water higher temps than axololts and there doing fine ,but that pattern is andersoni just not the gold/copper colouration ,keep it its a gem of the Ambystoma world

To me it looks like a "stardburst" color morph which is just a wildtype axolotl with a high amount of irodiphores.
