    Axolotls shouldnt have light, unless its for a very short ammount of time for photos or something, but axolotls have no eyelids so the light hurts their eyes. Please, please dont keep it with the lights on :)

      Well it's not wrong. I think they're technically Salamanders and it isn't nearly its full size.

    • @kadennicholas
      @kadennicholas 5 лет назад +3

      Actually there is a difference. Salamander larvae and Axolotls look very similar. Except for the number of toes on each specie. A salamander larvae most of the time with grow into an adult and look like a normal salamander. Although sometimes the larvae don’t fully grow and stay as a larvae. Axolotls will always stay as an Axolotl and never change.

    • @sunnycourtt1074

      Not really... did you see how many mistakes he made in that video alone? He even admitted he had never seen one in person... should've been more knowledgeable with more in person experience before just diving into getting a brand new pet (bearing in mind he hasn't ever had one so that makes it worse). If I were to get one (which I won't) I would make sure I know *EVERYTHING* you can even know and have everything setup before hand.

    Make sure when feeding off of tongs or above substrate to avoid impaction (yes the exact same thing as in reptiles) I've kept them on sand you just need to take a few extra precautions (edit) if possible I would add a sponge over the output because axolotls need as little flow as possible

    • @froppv4702
      @froppv4702 6 лет назад +13

      Allen J sand is completely fine for axolotls. They pass it very easily. It's only trouble when people keep them on gravel or small rocks. Axolotls use a sort of vacuum tactic to get their food in their mouth, sucking everything thing in front of them.

  • @reddyheady5711
    @reddyheady5711 6 лет назад +8

    I love axolotls! You’ll have so much fun with your new one. Some quick points to help reduce any stress that might come:
    Have an ammonia testing kit! Your water should be cycled to Ammonia and Nitrite below 0.5ppm and Nitrate under 40ppm. This needs to be tested EVERYDAY because an axolotls skin/mucus layer is so sensitive and can easily get ammonia burns.
    Also reduce the water flow to basically nothing. Axolotls are very weak creatures and any water flow causes them stress as they need to push harder to move. I suggest following Axolotl-Aholics on Facebook. They have files for everything you need to take care of an axolotl as well as files for if your new baby is sick.
    Congrats and I hope you take these notes into consideration! 😊

    you've got great editing! i don't know how to describe it but i guess it's got a more modern vibe to it? as in instead of it just being functional like cut to this and now that, it's got an actual feel of your style down. which tbh isn't common to find in reptile channels or animal channels in general. anyways, love your videos + hope you have a good day

  • @merkules6
    @merkules6 6 лет назад +2

    That ending, lol
    Damn I love this channel. I think I will have a room that looks similar to this. For now I have zero reptiles/amphibians, but I have a feeling that it will change in the near future. I feel like I've been missing out, because lizards and snakes can make such brilliant pets. I wish I had realised this earlier, I'd be more knowledgeable about them and possibly ready to actually get some. My first reptile is probably going to be a blue tongue skink. I'm planning on getting one from a reptile convention, because there doesn't seem to be any breeders in my country. In fact there's probably like one small convention every year in my country, so I will have to travel abroad to get a skink. It's okay with me, as long as I can safely get the animal into it's new home.

  • @jogeller5731
    @jogeller5731 5 лет назад

    I'm new to this channel and I don't want to go guns blazing, but what's your opinion on axolotl breeding - I mean, they're going extinct in the wild (admittedly over habitat destruction) meanwhile foreigners keep them as pets and even eat them. Shouldn't international herping communities not encourage this and try and offer contribution to conservation efforts for the axolotl? As much as can be done, anyway

  • @akiraz3493
    @akiraz3493 5 лет назад

    That axolotl is going to uproot every plant you have, also it’s best to cycle your tank before putting him in. Axolotls don’t like light. When opening the bag I would have immediately put her in fresh water, the water in the bag has a dangerous amount of ammonia when exposed to oxygen.

  • @smorc65
