Most light axolotls get dark toe tips, and the dark ones lighter toe tips.
This is not because a gender or another, it just indicates that your axie COULD be getting mature now.

yep I would say thats a girl too, and a nice fat one at that . In the futue things to look out for are:
*the shape of the head - girls typically have a shorter broader head than males
*width of the abdomen - girls are sometimes noticalby fat; however that is not always the case.
*length of tail - males have a longer tail whereas females normally have shorter ones
*and the size of the cloacal glands behind the rear legs - males' cloaca are usually considerably more swolen
hope that helps,

I though my male was a female for the same reason, he is a light axie and developed dark toes so we assumed he was a girl. The only real factor that is definate is the cloaca, If it is bigger, assume male. lots of males i have seen have very wide heads, my males head is much wider than my females of the same age, also why we thought he was a girl. He definatley has man bits though, they are quite prominant. I think the rest must be down to genetics. I would agree with the others, from the cloaca your axie looks like a girl
it looks like she is wearing nail pollish

Thanks people!
Both of my axie's were from the same tank, not sure if they are related so will have to wait and see, I don't really want them to lay eggs although I keep feeling that she might as she isn't eating much at all.
She seems to hate worms
By the way, her name is Pinky :happy:
