They're just so dang cute! Bits that were missing when I got the little one (still unnamed) are growing back, and even Fermi (big one) is growing more gill fluff! One of these days I'll be able to get a pic of the little ones tiny hand lol

Ok, ok, let me do a proper introduction

This is Bertie:

This is Gus:

Still got them tubbed since the tank still isn't fully cycled (it's been running for months now but still being troublesome), but so excited to have finally brought them home!

Can we drop the idea that if a pet isn't a dog or cat it's not worthy of love? People who own these pets - fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects, birds, small mammals - love their animals just as much as cat and dog owners love theirs. They put just as much attention and love and care into their animals as dog and cat owners put into theirs.

I have cats, but I've also had hamsters, fish, invertebrates, insects, frogs, and bunnies. Currently I keep axolotls and a crested gecko in addition to my cats. The amount of people who act like my axolotls and gecko don't exist, or aren't "real" pets compared to my cats, is nuts. I've had people tell me my pets are gross, ugly, disgusting, slimy. I've had them harass me over their food being gross or disgusting or slimy. I've had people tell me my pets should just be released into the woods rather than me spending money on their care, or ask me why I bother taking them to the vet, or "joke" about eating them. I've had some flat out tell me they shouldn't be alive or taking up space in the house or life. When they died, I've had people ask me why I'm sad or tell me I shouldn't be.

What the fuck is wrong with you? These are my pets and I love them just as much as my cats. When I worked at a pet store, I heard all the same sentiments expressed by customers. That's fucking disgusting.

Look, if someone has a pet you don't vibe with, just don't fucking interact with that pet. If you're afraid of dogs and your friend is telling you about something their dog did, do you interrupt and say "Your dog should be killed?" Why do people think this is acceptable behavior if the animal isn't a dog or cat?

Fucking support people and what they love. My best friend keeps tarantulas, which I am terrified of. The only thing I've ever said about it is not to text me pictures of them. I let her gush about them because even though they're not my cup of tea, she LOVES them. It's not that fucking hard. If you can't even do that, NICELY tell the person, "Hey I don't really like X, can we talk about something else?"

Don't fucking tell them their pets should die or not be alive and don't insult the animal just because you don't like them.

Every pet is a valid pet. Don't be a dick.

EDIT: For those of you trying to nitpick, obviously in this post I mean actual pets, bred in captivity, for the purpose of being pets. Not wild animals. Do NOT keep wild animals as pets.

Additionally, I tried to get a pic of the black axolotl, figuring it would be the perfect symbol for Mexican goths, but it didn’t show up, so we’ll just have to take the pastel goth pink axolotl for now ;)

Built a new tank the other day. Full of tannins.

I love you axolotl who I haven't named yet bc I'm incredibly indecisive and also bad at naming!

This little guy, in the short time I've had em, has already grown back the missing stump to almost the same size as the other one!

I had a TON of fun building this tank. I used some rock tiles I found for super cheap at the home depot that I really liked, gonna go back for more, simply bc it's so good. I built this tank out of loose stuff and plants that I had hanging around. Fun thrifted pillowcase turned table cloth, clear vinyl, atop of cinderblocks atop some old leftover wooden flooring planks and scrap wood on top of the blocks. Had to use a couple of shims to level it, but I got it there in the end! Rocks are the last of a bag of rocks I had for a different project, as well as the last of my 50lb bag of silica sand. Wood, decor, plants, lights, filter, all are either leftover scraps or clippings from other tanks. The tank itself I got off the classifieds, simply bc it was such a unique color! Not painted plastic, that color is straight from the manufacturer! No idea who makes them, though. Used filter media from their old tank to help kickstart that nitrate cycle.

I had to put this fella in there after my other one, Fermi, confirmed himself to be male and began trying to sex up this one, who is half his size. I only have the two axolotls, and the small one was a rescue I got at an auction (long story). Had em both in there (after a two week quarantine), to observe their interactions and learn more about em, but I don't want a million babies, so it's seperate tanks now. I had to nuke their old tank due to excessive black hair algae, and they shared the new one. Wanna see what it looks like?

This is Fermi, in there, and you can see where the freshly added nerite snail has been! I've been slowly growing out the plants in there. Fun axolotl tip: they love hides! My favorite hide method, and one I've always wanted to try, is terracotta pots that I've smashed in half. Available in a variety of sizes, they make for great naturalistic feeling, easy to decorate, cute, and durable, hides! They're great temperature sinks, leopard geckos, bearded dragons, skinks, it makes for great basking or hiding or cooling off, great moist hide, or dry if you need that.

Unnamed (already growing back their gill stubs) (left), and Fermi (glowing green eyes and vacant mind)

Unnamed (left). Fermi (right). Both are side eying the camera. Neither knows what taxes are.

Unnamed, showing off their regrown arm (the one on the viewers right), with fully functional fingers and all! The little missing bites from their tail have filled in. You can even see where the gills have started growing back (the sharply tapered, thin, and narrow part of the tips). The whole time that arm was growing back, they swam lopsided. Unnamed is a wild type morph, no GFP (green florescent protein) and adorable as all get out!
