Photo: Hernandez the Axolotl

[NinjaDeathSheep]

Hi everyone, I'm David.
I'm very new to this forum and thought that showing everybody my new axolotl would be the best way to introduce myself!
Hernandez was kept at a pet store that didn't know how to keep axolotls and so, i stepped in and saved him. Just wondering if somebody could tell me roughly how old he would be? He's about, 4.5 inches long or so..


His first feed was very messy

I love that last picture! What a sweet little face.

If you don't know how much he was being fed it's hard to say just how old he is chronologically. There's some information about average sizes and maturity on the Biology page at Axolotl.org. Axolotls - Biology
