Dark orange spots on yellow albino

[Komori]

I have a golden albino axolotl that is almost 5 years old. In the last year or so he has developed several orange/brownish spots that have darkened and grown bigger over time. Otherwise he seems completely healthy. Any idea if this is something to be concerned about, or just age?

I think it's just age, just like we get more and more imperfections as we get older.

I wouldn't worry but that's just me, might wanna get another opinion! Only reason I'd worry is if there were any behavioural changes, but you said he's healthy otherwise.

Looks like normal pigmentation to me - just an abundance of xanthaphores.

I think the time to get worried if it it appears raised or lumpy - could indicate a tumour.
