My axolotl had eggs on march 31st. Today i was changing some of the water from the tub i have the eggs in and noticed what looked like an empty egg sack but didnt think anything of it at the time. A few minutes later as i was finishing up i noticed a little baby swimming around. It does look a little underdeveloped but it is still active and moving around so i hope it will make it, i am setting up my brine shrimp hatchery tomorrow so it will have food.

I'm not trying to be negative, but I wouldn't think it's going to make it. From my experience with raising baby axolotls, there's definitely going to be some that won't make it especially if they're first time parents.
 
How did the baby do? How are the rest of the clutch?

    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
