CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION TO AXOLOTL

Axolotls, also known as the Salamander that never grows up, are simply adorable!

Therefore, you'll want to provide them with an exceptional but simple-to-maintain environment so that you can keep your special little one smiling!

That is precisely what this book will teach you. However, it is somewhat lengthy because I wanted to provide you with the best care sheet possible. Therefore, patiently go through the book, from the introduction in chapter one to the very end.

What is an Axolotl in the Wild? Is it the same as a Mexican Walking Fish?

Axolotls, often known as Mexican salamanders or Mexican "walking fish," have an appearance unlike that of any other aquatic species.

The deal is as follows:

Although it is commonly classified as a fish, the axolotl is not a fish at all. It is an amphibian species (technically, it is a salamander).

However, here is the actual kicker:

Adults, unlike the majority of amphibians, remain underwater after gaining legs.

Axolotls can grow to reach between 15 and 45 centimeters in length (but most usually grow to be about 30 cm).

He's also rather handsome, with his broad head, lidless eyes, and four long, skinny legs.

As if that weren't enough to make any amphibian's pulse race, axolotls also have filament-lined gill stalks (referred to as rami) that protrude from the back of their necks.

Regrettably, the world's only surviving population is concentrated at Lake Xochimilco.

Axolotls are classified on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's yearly Red List of vulnerable species due to their scarcity.

How did that happen?

To be sure, the population suffered a significant decline when Lake Calcho (the axolotl's natural Mexican habitat) was emptied to prevent flooding.

As a result, large numbers of axolotls were slaughtered, and the remainder began populating Xochimilco's canals.

Axolotl's Primary Morphs

Axolotls come in a variety of colors:

Mottled green with vivid eyes and purple gills in the wild type.

Albino: Pale pink or white body with clear/pink eyes and red gills.

Melanoid: Black/dark grey coloration with dark eyes and gills.

White/pink with dark eyes and vivid red gills; leucistic.

Albino Golden: Golden coloration with pink/orange eyes and brilliant red/pink gills.

Copper: Dark-eyed copper with brilliant red/pink gills.

Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP): A recessive gene termed Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) is present many at times, causing axolotls to glow green when you expose them to black light.

Other, less prevalent morphs include Piebald, Golden Non Albino, and Chimaerism.
