Very cute! the leucistic looks so tiny how big is he/she? They look very cute hiding together.

Hi Belinda

Elsa is 22cm (she's just had a growth spurt - either that or I measured her very wrong last time! lol) and Elmo is 10cm.

What does leucistic mean?

Hi Hayley,Congrates on your new edition. Elmo is the cutest! and elsa's colour is beautiful! you take some great photos. how old is elmo?

 

[hayley-jane]

Hi Hayley - thanks

I have no idea how old Elmo is actually - can anyone guess?

How old you you reckon Elsa is too?

I was told she was 1 year old when I brought her and I've had her coming up to 2 years now. Does she look like a 3 year old?

All Elsa's red veins have gone, noticed today - she must be better

Hi,
leucistics are axolotls that are white with black eyes, so i guess that is Elmo(see : http://www.axolotl.org/genetics.htm) personally they are my favourite

 

[hayley-jane]

lol Thanks I get it now!

All this time I thought Elmo and Baby (<~~ my old axie who died) were albinos.

I've never seen a white albino then....

 

[hailz]

My profile piccy is my white albino lulu, u can tell she's albino by her eyes. hope that helps

I was worried about the size difference at first, but because Elsa is so placid

and doesn't snap or anything I risked putting them together.

As you can see from the last pic, they sit right next to each other all the time (scary at first!

thought they might eat each other).

Elmo actually follows Elsa around the tank, he likes to be sitting in at least a 10cm radius of where she is

Hayley - duh what am I like?! I've looked at your pic loads of times!

S/he looks really pretty

 

[jopet]

Oh Elmo is so cute I want one like that I did have one like about 10 years ago

.
lol in your profile pic I thought that Elsa was a rock

.
Anyway they are very cute and look happy together.

 

[claire]

aww they are just adorable! hehe.i love the last picture of them together. they really do look like they love eachother.hehe.

 

[hayley-jane]

Thanks

Does anyone know how old they are?

 

[claire]

you cant really tell how old an axie is im afraid. because they all grow to different sizes at different rates

Ahhh...glad to see that Elsa is better. Elmo reminds me of my axolotls when they were young.

So Elsa could be 100 for all we know
