Description
My beloved salamanders are getting along better than I expected and their offspring are ready to find new homes. Mother is a Wild Type, but very dark, Father is Leucitic. Half of the pups are Leucistic and the other half is wild type. These babies have long beautiful gills and are happily eating store bought food. Pictures attached for reference, last is of the parents. Text me if you are interested 970-397-21five eight. Hatch date was April 10th, they are currently 3-6 inches. This is what they are eating now: Bloodworms as a treat - https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/san-francisco-bay-brand-frozen-bloodworms Salamander Pellets as a staple - https://www.hikariusa.com/tropical_folder/sinking_carnivore_pellets.html These are the same pellets but it's cheaper for 1kg of pellets https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003SN5ESE?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image Redworms as a staple - these are available in the bait section of Walmart Rehoming Fee is $30 for Wild, $50 for Leucistic General Info: Axolotl are a fun pet who do not require attention often. They do require clean, cold water, about 16-18C or 60-65F. I do this with PC cooling fans but any USB fan will work well. Provided they are not placed in direct sunlight this is usually all you need to get it cold enough. I'm posting my setup as a recommended setup to get you started. They will need at least 10 gal but 20 is more ideal for an adult. Despite what the pictures show all of the salamanders are now living on play sand so they are accustomed to fine substrate.
