My new Axolotl




I got a baby axolotl on Sunday from somebody on craigslist.  I used to have one when I was a kid and thought it was the coolest thing.  I remembered how my turtle bit off the tail and one of the back legs and it entirely grew back.  Awesome stuff.  

A few weeks ago I saw one at Kahala Petland and it sparked the memory.  At $30 bucks, I didn't want to fork it over.  Then I just thought I would look for one on craigslist and luckily I found one and it didn't cost me anything.  It was a barter and I was cool with parting with some electronic thing I no longer use.

Me and Kaile decided to name her Aby.  I don't really know if it's male or female,  but I like to think of it as female.  She's only 3 1/2 inches long right now.  I feed her frozen bloodworms twice a day and have some baby guppies in there which she eats whenever she gets lucky.  I also do 100% water changes every few days. 

Here are more photos.
