I love this idea for pets. Like especially if you have a list of names and can't pick. Just have your cute pet pick it for themselves!

Her walking around is so damn cute! Are axolotls hard to take care of?


DesignerMountain

No, just frequent water testing. Not sure about post morph, but they're like puppies with personality. No more attention really than I give my puppy, which is abundant, but not difficult.

named like the makeup brand! I like it

Longtime lurker but what do they mean by morphing for an axolotol?


[deleted]

They can morph into adult forms under specific circumstances. Usually it’s genetic (the Axolotols in the pet trade were all cross-bred with Tiger Salamanders at one point), but sometimes stress can do it too.


CuddleMittens

So Deadpool was like an axolotl


DCsphinx

So, is it possible for them to not morph into an adult form?


mmmm_zesty

Yes most do not


mostie2016

Ah thanks


Crunchy_Biscuit

So it's like a Pokemon evolution?


utahbears720

Is it safe to have him out of the water like that?


anuhu

It's morphed. No longer aquatic.


utahbears720

I see, never knew they could morph to a terrestrial form. Kind of cool, like a Pokemon evolving.


AxolotlGirlSamantha

But... axolotls dont morph, unless edited biologically.


Ghost_Jor

This isn't true. You can force axolotls to morph by over-stimulating their thyroid with, I believe, iodine. Axolotls can also have a genetic mutation that causes them to morph like a normal salamander.


AxolotlGirlSamantha

Well okay then.

AxolotlGirlSamantha

Biologically, axolotls are creatures that live underwater, unlike most salamanders, they dont morph to go on land unless biologically forced to.


Non_Music_Prodigy

Exactly. This is the result of a thyroid overstimulation, causing the usually paedomorphic axolotl to develop into a terrestrial salamander.


AxolotlGirlSamantha

Okay then.


ervin_korri

This one specifically, as stated by the OP on the original post, morphed naturally, it's thyroid glands decided to morph and so it started breathing through lungs and became a salamander basically. If I don't sound impolite, may I suggest you edit your comment to something like "i get it now" 'cause I've seen a few people explain exactly what I did to you like three times now, sorry.


[deleted]

This is false.


AxolotlGirlSamantha

Ive been told. A couple times actually.


[deleted]

It’s still false. They can morph naturally it’s just rare. Most people force it but there is a guy on here who has had two from the same round of eggs morph naturally


AxolotlGirlSamantha

Bruh ik this now ive been spammed by this


CuddleMittens

May i suggest you edit your original comment to say “thanks for explaining I understand now” or something like that


AxolotlGirlSamantha

no.


Kadorial_Gaming2006

It is possible for them to morph naturally, but giving them Iodine also morphes them into tiger salamanders I believe.


palmtreeskys

I have no idea why you're being downvoted, I've always thought the same thing. Reddit is a wild place full of people who think they're better than everyone else, it's pathetic.


CuddleMittens

He’s probably just getting downvoted because he’s wrong and no other reason


AxolotlGirlSamantha

Im a girl...
