You got a beatiful axie :D I'm worried that my light might be too strong - is there any way of knowing? ( I haven't got an axie yet ) also what light do you have thanks!
@axolotlwithexotics: Sorry for the delay, we've been away a couple of days. In the video, Spyyk's about 10" long. Now he's about 7, he's a good foot and perhaps then some.
And you feed it snails! omg, you're going to kill it, those shells won't get digested, and will shred the 'lotl's digestive tracts! you should be ashamed...
Zacattackzak - yourlanguage was highly innappropriate.
You will be interested to know that river pebbles are not a good substrate, due to the gaps. Axolotl have been known to get their limbs caught and crushed, and food rots in said gaps. Mm, lovely.
Builder's sand is very rough and not suitable, but children's silica free playsand is very soft and safe to use. Feel some under water.
what do you use as the floor i gave mine gravel and he kept eating it so i replaced it with marbles and i don't think he likes walking on them he just stays in his pot
Sorry I didn't reply sooner, my PC went *khupuht* just like that! Sand is the best thing axies can have. They live on mudbeds normally, and sand is the closest you can get. I'd chosen such small gravel to avoid risk of prolapse: where they get bunged up with stones, and very ill - this is much less likely with sand.
