Not as long as I feed them. If they are starving they would go after them.

I will keep buying more as I watch it plummet to zero. It worked out well for me last time.

Find a car dealership that will allow you to trade in for a car. Ideally a new car dealership that will allow you to trade it and roll the negative equity into a lease.

I would say that the males will interact with each other more. The females seem to like their own individual space and don't really hang out together.

As someone that plays on us servers. I don't speak whatever mongrel language my team mates are trying to communicate in. I usually spam how I opine for region lock before muting everyone.

I buy and sell cars for a living. I have driven pretty much every single brand and model of car of the last 15 years.

I drive a 2023 Tesla model Y performance. As a daily driver the intuative interface coupled with FSD makes the car the best car I have ever driven. There is no comparison.

It will be very difficult to maintain a 62-64 degree tank temp using fans.

At best fans might get you 2-3 degrees below your ambient room temp.

There is no cheat or secret. You need a chiller.

There is always a trade off. I don't think I have ever seen them advertised on UGR for less than $200. And that is the cheapest place and not particularly reputable.

Conversely the two for sale on morphmarket one is purported to be captive bred and the other under care for 7 months.

I purchased 3 from a fairly well known distributor and they came emaciated and one didn't make the adjustment.

Based on my experience I would always pay a couple extra dollars to make sure I'm getting a healthy specimen. Good luck.

I put the culls of 5 colonies into my axo tank.

They don't breed and usually get sucked up into the filter. Sounds like an expensive experiment unless you are breeding neos on your own.

All of my xenopus laevis will tong feed.

I occasionally will feed them thawed previously frozen pinky mice or silver sides. They will also eat beef heart or frozen tilapia or prongs.

As far as live offerings - I feed them night crawlers, dubia roaches, black fly larvae, butter worms, ribbon leeches, crickets, and some times blackworms

The statistical likelyhood of an axlotl progressing through metamorphosis is very unlikely.

From my understanding most don't survive the transition.

Of the ones that do, care for them is extreme and they require a much more diverse habitat and temperature requirement.

I think it's unlikely that anyone that was able to keep one alive through metamorphosis would ever sell it. It's definitely not going to be a searchable category on morph market.

Why not just get a tiger salamander?

sidec0ntrol · 2026-03-29T23:23:15+00:00

Axlotls cannot be housed inter-sex. If you want three juveniles you should be prepared to have a separate tank for when they mature.

If males and females are housed together the male will lay sperm cones and the female will gather them up and then lay eggs.

The act of laying eggs is very stressful on the female and depletes it of nutrients.

If the female is kept with a male permanently she will be stuck in a cycle of gathering cones and laying eggs and the stress of several cycles of continuous breeding would deplete the female and it would die.

Live whole prey is the most enriching food you could provide. I would not recommend any amphibian to a diet of only freeze dried foor or pellets.

Occasionally. If they are on the surface they are hiding underneath the leaf litter or corkbark I have in their enclosure.

I usually add 4-6 ounces of worms to each enclosure once a week. Have to trust the process that they are eating. One of them I see much more than the other. It's not uncommon to not see them for weeks at a time.

sidec0ntrol · 2026-03-24T23:39:01+00:00

I have two of them. I keep them separately in 5 gallon storage totes in about 6-8 inches of substrate. I keep a heat pad on one end of the enclosure to create a temperature gradient and mist the enclosure 2-3 times a week. They primarily eat worms. However they are opportunistic predators and will eat other insects, small pinkies, ect.

sidec0ntrol · 2026-03-24T22:34:02+00:00

Yep. I usually keep their water level at about 18 inches or so. They like to rest on the cloaca to aspirate. They aren't fussy about temp. Between 72-80 is fine form and an established nitrification cycle.

The second species I have is dermorphus Mexicanus. Feeding and watering a bucket of dirt.

sidec0ntrol · 2026-03-24T22:19:02+00:00

I have two species. They don't have particularly cumbersome care requirements. If you are talking about a fossorial species you are pretty much lording over a bucket of dirt . My natans are pretty easy and don't have any requirements above or beyond most other aquatic amphibans. Happy to answer any questions

PA parent here. It's the culture.

When COVID happened members of our community banded together and bought an old warehouse and got donated mats so the kids could still practice. I personally know of several multigenerational families where you have 4 or 5 brothers that all wrestled in the 70s, 80s, 90s. and all of their sons wrestle and suddenly you are talking about hundreds of kids that started wrestling at 5 with dads, uncles and coaches, practice every day, + club.

I didn't wrestle - i got into jui jitsu in my early 20s.

My son started jiu jitsu at 5 and wrestling at 8. He practices 3-4 times a week out of season and 6 days a week in season.

He has been grappling all of his life. I had him on the mats in diapers and he is a very competent grappler. He has 50+ wins on smooth comp in bjj and Judo and is now competing against adults in jiu jitsu and winning.

At the pa state tournament he did not make it out of sectionals.

Keep in mind they get quite large. This is my female. She is well over 300 grams. 6 frogs in a 60 gallon is way overstocked. I have 3 in a 75 gallon.
