TheGardenofEder Posted January 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 No not water dogs. Axolotls always stay in the larvae stage water dogs eventually grown into salamanders. aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquariumlover10 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I know, I just call them water dogs, I want a water dog in a paludarium so it will turn into a salamander and I wont need to change everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyeGuy411 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 That is really cool. I had no idea about what they were and how the reproduce either. I like how you can see them as they develop. aquariumlover10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGardenofEder Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 The bodies are starting to get longer and more slender. The bottom right one is the most developed. They are starting to look like tinny tadpoles. Also they wiggle and twitch, sometimes just for a sec, sometimes it's for a good 15 sec.

RyeGuy411 Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Those are pretty sweet. How long from eggs laid to hatch? And you said there is a larval stage how long does that last? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dendrobatez Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Saw some of these at repticon a week ago, really wanted to pick 1 or 2 up, they are awesome in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGardenofEder Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 It took 8 days for them to hatch. Right now about 10 of them have hatched out of around 70 eggs. Axolotls never come out of the larvae stage. They can lose legs and regenerate(I've seen this first hand from one I revived with only 3 legs at repticon). When they are ready I will be selling them I already got my liscence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
