He looks cool, and it looks like he's grown very fast.
I have only ever seen larvae or adults in the water, but i dont see very many (ive never seen an adult male)
WHere did you get it from? It would be illegal to collect a bay from the wild.

dont you think i know that. what are you trying to say i nick them from the wild .i am trying to save them in the wild i have reported many finds to the wildlife trusts over the years i would not take them from the wild i get them from eggs from charles snell and have done for many years
 
Lovely animal, Justin.
Oh, and I'm sure AJJ didn't mean any offence.
I'm really looking forward to getting Charles list of CB eggs this year!

I had the same thing happen with some T karelini.
They went from eggs to breeding in just one year.
The young stayed aquatic which Im sure helped the fast development, as they feed much better in water.

Great pic by the way, keep them coming.

    Had a question that I just want to be sure of. My marbled newt is a little over a year old and has started to develop and I noticed that he is starting to swell a little below his abdomen. I guess I’d like to know if they are his testes or if I need to be concerned.

    Hello!!! I'm new to this website and idk how to ask a proper question on the designated spot yet, so I'll ask here, I'm a first time Axolotl owner, and my dad used to run an aquarium store, anyways... Orca, my Axolotl, seems to loose parts of her toes on one limb from time to time, I can't seem to find the problem. Tempature is well, she doesn't seem to have any infections or anything, though. And I'm not sure if I'll be able to find a vet in Brazil for amphibians that are in a reasonable distance to drive without stressing Orca out too much

    Hello, I’m hoping for some advice please. Our Axolotl is about 7 months old. Till now no problem. Eating, growing and happy. He’s simply stopped eating. Everything looks fine, his gills look healthy and no apparent signs of sickness. He just swims past the pellets and bloodworm like he can’t smell it. I don’t think it’s a blockage either. Any ideas and suggestions for treatment would be much appreciated. Thank you!
