What’s your thoughts on axolotls (also known as the Mexican walking fish)?

I Wandered Lonely as a Clod
I wandered lonely as a clod,
Just picking up old rags and bottles,
When onward on my way I plod,
I saw a host of axolotls;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
A sight to make a man’s blood freeze.

Some had handles, some were plain;
They came in blue, red pink, and green.
A few were orange in the main;
The damnedest sight I’ve ever seen.
The females gave a sprightly glance;
The male ones all wore knee-length pants.

Now oft, when on the couch I lie,
The doctor asks me what I see.
They flash upon my inward eye
And make me laugh in fiendish glee.
I find my solace then in bottles,
And I forget them axolotls.

They're cute. I have one, he's 6 years They're not a beginner pet and tons of work.

Any tips?

[orangecream]

:) Many I could go on, and on, but, honestly, the best advice and tips are from the girl on Axlotl army, she does a great job on talking about tank set ups etc.

Cute, but a shame more than half of them seem to get abused by fools who can't do basic pet research.

[panda2712]

I’ve been researching like crazy because I’m getting one for my boyfriend for his birthday as it’s one of his favourite animals and I want to make sure we take care of it properly and I have so many notes in my phone lol but it also saddens me when people don’t search how to take care of any pets

[LavLavLuv]

Cuteeeeee and the little ‘🙂’ face loll

[Kori1236]

They’re adorable, but not something I’d be comfortably with housing myself. They do require a fair amount of care and are exotic pets

Interesting how they spend their whole lives underwater. And their regeneration is very impressive.

In the movie Jurassic Park Jeff Goldblum said Life Finds A Way & in the case of the axolotls life did find a way.

I like them. I think they're adorable little water creatures.

They have impressive regeneration, if only humans was able to copy that trait somehow.

They and lung fish are artifacts of the ascent of life from fish to amphibians. So are the vestigial rear legs of some snakes.

The albino ones are what you'd get if you asked Jim Henson to design an amphibian.

I'm surprised that they are so easy to get as a pet if they are extremely endangered.

[Nikki1989]

Awwww, they are so cute!

Cute and creepy at the same time.
