First time posting so I hope I am in the right place for this. Apologies if I have made a mistake. Anyways, I purchased some axolotl eggs and they came Tuesday after 24 hours in the post. I noticed a few seemed to be a bit misshapen and for the life of me I can't place them on the charts about egg development. So, I decided I'd try to ask others who have had axolotl eggs if they believe these eggs are viable or not. I believe two of the small clutch are shaping up nicely, but the others are a mystery to me. I hope the images are helpful! Thank you in advance! (sorry if the pictures are bad quality, I tried to make them as clear as possible)

Leave them for another few days and see where you are at.

It looks like you might be at the blooming stage which leads to beaning.
 
Thank you for replying!

That is what I am planning on doing. The thing is that has me confused is that they were laid 21st of September, which means they are coming up to two weeks old. The breeder said that they had been stored at low temperatures to prevent them from developing too quickly. I'll stick to monitoring them for now. Maybe they are just slow developers haha. Fingers crossed.
 
Ugh they put them in the fridge!!!

They may or may not bounce back with fridging.

Mm. That is what I suspected. I have another batch from a different breeder that are developing much better and should be hatching this week. Sucks about these ones, but not much I can do about it now.

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
