Question: Is our girl a girl?

[CSoul79]

Hi, We are new to the cute and quirky world of Axolotl and are quite taken with our new little beastie. We think she is a she but would like to be sure so we can stick with the right name. We have gone with Lexa but if she turns out to be a he then we will go with Draco. Seems to be still in the juvenile stage.
Cheeky wee thing.
Thanks in advance.

I'm bad at this and hope someone will correct me but it looks like a less defined male to me.

How old is Lexa and how long is she??? If these factors are also stated then we can also address as to whether she can even be sexed properly as the moment.

Other than that, looks like a very good looking golden albino and whether Lexa is a he or a she, I hope Lexa brings you much joy and that you bring her great care!

if he/she was an adult then I would say female, as it stands he/she is still only a juvenile and could be an immature male, only time will tell.

Hi,
Thanks for you reply. I would say she would be between 5-6 inches. I have no idea how old. We think she is pretty cute, love all her shiny spots and splodges. She has given us lots of joy just in the couple of weeks we have had her. Our sons, 11 and 4 love watching her and it appears she loves watching them to. The 11 year old is already wanting another Axolotl. Think we will just make sure we can get it right with this one before thinking about another. Can definitely see how people can fall in love with them though.
