FYI: My Video Footage of Axolotl Laying Eggs

[ian_uk]

You may have woken up one morning and found 100s of axolotl eggs have been laid in your aquarium. Please check out the videos I have just uploaded to youtube and you will see just how much hard work and the length of time your female would have spent laying them... one... by... one...:

The last one shows the babies spinning inside the eggs whilst developing (speeded up x4):

There are a few other videos of my axolotls on youtube too and I may add some more when I have time to upload them. I think you could just search for my username there, which is 'joeyboylondon'.

I also thought I'd share a photo of a spermatophore and one of the 'Star of the Egg Laying Movies' in action (on the photo occasion I had taken her out of the aquarium and put her alone in a bowel of water from the tank as she was being attacked by others):

These videos are great, so interesting to watch! Doesn't look very comfortable for your poor axie though...poor girl having so many to push out .

Thanks for sharing that!

I especially liked the last one. I wonder if the more active ones are more healthy in the long run.

Oh, sorry... I did Audioswap on the videos when I posted them but it took about a day to overwrite, so any talking is now gone!

Terrific! They are amazing and informative.Thank you for these. :happy:

Gasp!! No more accent??! It was such a highlight. English accents always sound so posh.

A posh English accent? I was hoping I might be hearing a Cockney, barrow-boy type voice, based on your location Ian!!
