Help us welcome “Lance-alotl” to Archie’s Angels! Lance came from a loving family who donated all her supplies with her so she could transition to her new surroundings as quickly as possible. Having her favorite hides has certainly helped relieve stress!
Their generous supply donation will help us foster many future axolotls.
Lance is going to the vet on Friday for a wellness exam!
What are some indicators of good health in an axolotl?
✅ belly is about the same width as their head
✅ regular appetite
✅ swimming around with control (not constantly floating uncontrolled, leaning to one side)
✅ gills not curled forward or shrinking
Despite these indicators, it’s important to take every reptile and amphibian for a regular checkup just like a dog or a cat. Fecal samples, weight tracking and the trained eye of an exotic veterinarian can reveal a lot of information.
In foster care, we are working on helping Lance grow her gills through consistent water quality. This is something that should improve over time.

Hank the Tank checking in! Hank is thriving in his new home. For those who have followed his story, Hank was quite the shy guy when he first arrived at Archie’s. Thanks to socialization efforts by his foster, he started to warm up to people.
Now, Hank is a total people person! His new family has helped him learn to trust people and he is now best buddies with them, even begging for shoulder rides and attention!
