What are Axolotls?

Axolotls come in many morphs...

Axolotls come in many different colors and patterns, called morphs. Think of these morphs like dog breeds—they're all axolotls, but each morph is unique and special. Some axolotl morphs are common, like a Wild Type axolotl, while others are extremely rare, like a Piebald axolotl. Even within the same morph, genetic anomalies occasionally occur during breeding. These one-of-a-kind axolotls are the rarest of all, and are extremely valuable to enthusiasts. At Axolotl Planet, we have many different morphs available for sale. We take great care to track the lineage of each of our axolotls, which helps to keep a high degree of genetic variation in our stocks. In the long run, this is very good for the axolotls, because it means that there will be a very large gene pool, which helps to reduce the chance of disease and genetic defects in each animal.
