Here’s an adorable little boy and his new Lucy axolotl baby. The baby is watching him through the tank! I do believe axolotls can distinguish the difference between humans as mine would always get excited to see me -the worm lady- and not other people usually. Thanks Conner and his awesome dad Chris for the update!

Hi again! I put a pair together as a test breeding to determine which clutch from 3 years ago produced “Sally Struthers” a GFP Lucy. She was paired with my wild, “Bruno Mars” also bred by me about 2 years ago. See Bruno is all het including hypo which means he can produce any morph that the female has in her lines in basic terms. There will definitely be Mel’s, Lucy’s and wilds with about half the clutch being GFP or glowing as well.
These eggs are from my lines but since I am unsure about which morphs they will produce they are not as expensive as usual and would make a great classroom project or hatched for educational purposes. Both Sally and Bruno are huge axolotls and Strong so these eggs would also be a good clutch to raise for a first time person. As usual my care guide I included as well as the parents information I have. Let me know if you would like any or have questions!

I am happy to say that Butters, the girl who had to have both front legs amputated is doing amazingly! She has grown an entire hand back! I wrote the story of Butters in a previous post but here is an old pic and the new one from today.

Here is another amazing story of recovery! This poor Axolotl was on deaths door and the owner could not find a local vet no matter how hard she tried so she contacted us. I had to admit, Jenni first saw Butters, a. 3 year old Lucy, I was not hopeful and wanted the owner, Lauren, to consider humane euthanasia as well as treatment. After a long discussion, whe made the decision to move forward with giving the little girl a try at survival. It is never easy to guide an owner through amputation of one limb, let alone both front legs so it took bravery from Lauren to go through with the procedure properly while guided by me. Mission accomplished. Then came months of tubbing and medicating and testing with little improvement. My hope were not high at that point. But the Axolotl had an appetite for black worms we found out, so we kept treating. Then a few weeks later, Lauren send me a very promising picture of butters. What a big turn around! This little girl had the fight in her and she pushed through with our help and is now on the mend!
Axolotls can return to normalcy from some pretty bad conditions I’ve seen, but in order for them to survive like that you need to do a lot of things properly and should be under care from a veterinarian who is Axolotl experienced. Butters had multiple disease processes going on and needed lots of nursing care and medications and environment changes. It takes patience and dedication which Lauren had and put all her effort into this little girl and it’s now paying off and we can see the rewards. Congrats to Butters and Lauren! I will post a final recovery picture hopefully soon!

I love sharing my passion for axolotls with others. Today I made one family of four very happy. The two kids have been wanting axolotls forever and finally got their dream juveniles, a golden albino and copper. Mom and dad are all set up with the starter kit for each and lots of instructions! It made my day to see the smiles and excitement of the kids of the Mcagrath family. Welcome “Sage” and “Axie” to their happy family!

Im getting into it again! First time in a while that I’ve had eggs. These are from Ellen and Bruno and should produce all varieties including hypomelanietic. Bruno is so beautiful and Ellen has gotten so big and I’m excited for this clutch. Ellen is a Mel axanthic copper and Bruno is a wild type. I posted their pics in an earlier post but they look even prettier now. These will not be available to customers, I am keeping many and have plans for the rest. I’ll keep you posted!

I was interviewed by a reporter with a local Pittsburgh paper about Axolotls and my name and site were mentioned and I was quoted! First time that’s happened. I think it came out pretty good. Read it and tell me what you think.
