Hi, my Axolotl Ludo looks like his tail is damaged? I got him November of last year and he’s about 8 months old.

It kindof looks like he just wedged it somewhere and got it stuck and that’s how he probably injured. My axolotl had a random injury on his tail and he was just fine. It should heal fine, and I wouldn’t worry about too much! Ludo is such a cute name!

I’d keep an eye on it ofc just to make sure it doesn’t seem to get worse or anything

Some of the baby axolotls I work with at school have had tails that look like that so it’s nothing to really worry about.

Thank you so much! That’s what I assumed but I just wanted to be sure :)
I named him after the monster is the 1986 labyrinth movie!
 
Awww! I like it. Mine are named Mudkip and Kirby. His tank setup looks really really nice! Do you have a whole picture of it?
 
Here you go! I like your names too :) Mudkip is a really cute name

    Hello, I’m looking for fire bellied newts that will ship to Ontario, Canada. Are there any captive breeders here? I’ve had many in the past and I’m looking to get a pair for my 12 yr old. I will be the care taker!

    Hello. I’m looking for some input. My axolotl is about 7 months old. I came home and her gills are completely white. I was reading that they do shed around this age. Could this be why her gills are white? The ph is 6.5-7. Nitrates are 80 Nitrites 0.5

    My axolotl’s gills have turned completely white. she is about 7 months old. I fed her a couple of pellets to see if she would eat. One hit her head and she flipped out. Started darting all around the tank. Temp, ammonia, nitrates are all in range. Anyone know why this is happening? I pu
