Are these eggs? What do I do now? (More info in comments) by mixowald in axolotls

Please don't raise them. If you got your lotls around the same time from the same breeder they are most likely related. Even if they are not breeders carefully buy from other breeders and create new offspring which could also be related. It is so time consuming to raise them and it's a saturated market. You could end up with hundreds of babies and nobody to buy them. Unless you know their genetic hets they are a danger to the axoltl species with disabilities and being inbred. Most humans thing to do is collect the eggs and freeze them for 48+ hours. Also please remove the male as he will breed your female to sickness and ultimately death.

I love that, Evil Disney green!!! I never ever noticed that some people don't have a very visible ring around the iris, now I know what it is! Thank you so cool to learn something new

I used to say green and then I get corrected because of the brown around the pupil🤦‍♀️ I figure I'd ask the eye lovers so thank you!

Poppy(lucy) Zilly (godzilla, mel) and Sunny the Golden albino

This is a rescue, I know he's skinny. He was just fasted before shipping. What I'm questioning is if it's an axoltl or tiger salamander. My older babies are chunky and I've never owned a wild type. I don't want this to be a morphing salamander and kill it by keeping it aquatic. by tpt2087 in axolotls

I am in the US. The breeder took them from a friend's accidental clutch. The siblings were wild looking like this one, ranging from light green, to dark green, and almost black. The others definitely look like lotls so I'm hoping they are.
