A big shout-out to Jonathan's Reptiles for helping me deck out my morphed axolotl enclosure! Kirby now calls home an 18" x 18" terrarium, complete with forest moss, top soil/coir/drainage mix substrate, two hides, and a handi-cable bathing area.

Kirby also has a new buddy, thanks to Northern Axolotls ... stay tuned!

Want to add a wild child to the family? We've got just what you need! We have GFP and non GFP Wilds ready for new waters, visit our website to learn more!

These Wilds are pet-only, as they came to me in April as surrenders, from a clutch locally produced by accident with pet-store animals.

These guys deserve amazing homes to match their amazing gills, and trust me - they don't stay still! Swimming around is their favorite hobby, when they're not eating me out of house and home. Until I'm positive on their genders I would rather only release one to each family, unless if you're prepared to set up multiple tanks.

Delivery available to all legal states!

(psst, one of my axolotls has five legs - and she'll be there!)

Hi everyone! I have something to share! And a surprise for you 👀

My niece has graduated highschool and is now competing for the title of Miss Alaska Teen USA. She needs to raise 2k before her pageant, and the best way I can help is by providing sponsorship rewards!

Each donator will receive a mystery gift shipped to them from Ethical Axolotls.

Your gift will reflect your donation amount, so if you donate a little, you could get stickers and keychains, while larger donations might include posters, 3D prints, and store credit at our store. Everything is shipped at no cost to you.

Does this sound awesome, or what? Here's what I need from you:

- Make whatever donation you're comfortable with. $1 will not hurt our feelings, in fact, it's $1 closer to our goal, and will nab you some stickers! $20 is amazing, and you'd definitely get a poster and/or small accessories, including stickers.

- Comment below that you've donated. A screenshot of your donation helps, but so long as your name matches the donation, you're good to go.

- I'll contact you for your shipping address

- June 18th we'll ship the goodies!

Thank you for sponsoring my niece, it means the world to me, and so does she.

I want to spotlight a very special small business today. This is Blessed Cake Creations , the amazing cottage law baker who created the custom cake which was a shining star of my husband and I's vow renewal.

The cake was a glorious spice cake with buttercream cream cheese frosting, and I couldn't have asked for anything more... but maybe an axolotl, but hubby said no axolotls on the cake 😂

The cake was moist and delicious, and had a spongy yet fall-apart-in-your-mouth texture, and the icing completely topped it off with a warm cinnamon roll-style sweetness that was to die for.

If you think that all sounds pretty good, you're thinking about trying a custom baked good (she makes amazing cupcakes too), or just want some new content that won't clog your feed on the daily, please hop over to her page and give it a like and a follow!

GFP is such a cool gene - it's not the most intuitive thing, but as GFP stands for Green Fluorescent Protein, the proteins within their bodies will fluoresce (glow) green under UV light! This means all of their organ and muscle tissue will glow. Even their brains 🧠

Please see the last pictures for some snippets of articles I've found regarding both the growth rate and GFP genealogy of axolotl, also please visit the links above to read the full articles for free.

It is important to understand that much of axolotls' regenerative ability would cease after metamorphosis, just as a frog or typical salamander loses its 'tadpole immunity'. There are extensive cartilaginous properties of their body which exists for... well, whatever reason evolution decided upon.

However, studies (like the one linked above) seem to believe that the reasoning for their very cartilage-rich bodies is due to preparation for metamorphosis, as well as deeply connected to their stem cell production, to which they likely have to thank for their regenerative abilities.

Since axolotls' regenerative abilities slow as they age, and their bodies begin to store more calcium within their skeletal structure, it is certainly important to be aware of the hardness of the water you provide for them to draw their minerals from. I personally recommend a minimum GH of 8°, which is 8 dGH or a touch higher than 140 ppm.

Acidic water is also dangerous for these alkaline creatures, with 7 being the lowest pH for my recommendation.

I digress - these guys are so cool, and I hope you enjoyed my second post of the day!

Check out these Leucies! These are from our recent Karma x Connor clutch. They've been eating me out of house and home, but they've been growing like weeds and I'm so pleased with their development.

They're not even three weeks old yet!
