We’ve had this baby axolotl for a couple weeks now, she’s about 1.5 inches long, maybe closer to 2 now. We’re keeping her in tubs while her future tank cycles, we do water changes twice a day and feed her twice a day as well. Her tank temperature stay at 56-58 F, we’ve seen her head change color a couple times? She’s a wild type and sometimes she looks paler than normal. However just now her entire body has turned almost translucent. Any ideas what might be causing this??
 
Also, we just tried to feed her, she ate and then spit everything out?? We have no idea what’s happening.
 
Hey, do you have any photos of this? That might help. Like, photos of not just the axolotl but the set up and everything you have the little critter in.

    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
