im doing a report on axolotls and i have one of my own. i havent had mine for long and i was wondering about some things:
do their gills grow longer?
and where can i get a life cycle of axolotls and after they stay out of water?

Look here: http://www.axolotl.org/

Once they have reached adulthood i don't think the gills grow any longer.

Hi Samantha.
Getting other people to help you with a project? Very smart why didn't I think of that in school?

. Just kidding!
Welcome. I see you have an Axolotl and a keen interest in them. I don't know if you have noticed yet in the forum that there is a section dedicated to just them. I would love to see you post a picture of your Axolotl in there sometime.
Take care. Michelle

Hi Samantha

I believe that gill size is directly correlated to the oxygen content of the water they live in, though once they reach adulthood they don't grow any more.
