New salamander.....

Just bought myself another morphed axolotl from my local fish shop. About 5 inches long, still very much in its semi aquatic stage. Same colouring as my other sallie, cream with yellow spots.
 
No its not, here in australia only axolotls are legal. There is a breeder here in sydney that has a permit to breed and sell axolotls that have been crossed with tigers(several generations back before they stopped importing other salamanders) and as a result a small amount of australia axolotls are able to morph naturally. He was investigated a few years back by the controlling body here in oz and with DNA testing he proved the axolotls had some tiger sal. DNA in them. Long story i know but I have been assured by several people including the breeder that it is true.
 
yeh not a problem i'll get on it asap. I'm not sure if it is the same as tigers but morphed axys(well at least mine) are quite aquatic(underwater feeding etc)for at least 6 months after morphing. And then it is only after another 6 - 12 months of terrestial life to they mature sexual. At which point they will not go in the water at all
 
I'd love to hear more about this. I've never heard of this before.

    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
