[…]cinereus) is even still to be found in Manhattan…so keep looking and learning! Further Reading Axolotl Care and Natural History Original article describing the newly-discovered Axolotl […]
[…]air pump that provides just enough aeration to keep the eggs slightly in motion. Providing Cover Axolotl eggs are typically attached to plants or other structures, as seen in the accompanying photo. Once they begin to hatch, I’ll add additional plants, nearly filling the tank so as to separate the larvae […]
[…]insects and other invertebrates and small fish. Adults are major predators upon small axolotls and axolotl eggs. The larvae are largely carnivorous, but may consume some algae as well. Their main predators are herons and other wading birds, fishes and larger axolotls. Reproduction Males deposit spermatophores (sperm-filled capsules) on the […]
[…]subject. Please note: the aquatic larvae of all species of salamanders are termed “axolotls” in some references, i.e. as in “tiger salamander axolotls”. The name as used here refers to young and adult Ambystoma mexicanum only. Classification Class: Amphibia Order: Caudata Family: Ambystomatidae A complex of a dozen or more […]
[…]eggs are a great concern among many captive amphibians, although I have not run into such with axolotls. The Eggs Please see the Natural History of Axolotls for details on courtship and mating. Females have been observed to pick up several spermatophores during the night, although it is not clear all are […]

[…]bulb is best used for illumination, as it will not add significantly to water temperature. Axolotls do not need a source of UVB light. Axolotls are native to cool, high-altitude lakes, and do best at water temperatures of 62-70 F, with a dip to 50-52 F in winter, if possible. […]
[…]the “normal” rules…at least not as I learned them! Recently, bio-engineered axolotls that glow fluorescent green have appeared in the trade. Rearing axolotls in the lab differs in some respects from home care, but much of value is contained in the protocols of institutions maintaining large research colonies. You can […]

[…]the weight (and date) on the cover. The cover should not be ventilated – for most reptile eggs, a once- daily check provides enough oxygen exchange (ventilation may need to be increased for large numbers of eggs once hatching time nears – please write in if unsure). Keeping Track of […]
[…]years after its “near-death experience”. Other interesting experiences have involved Mexican Axolotls. An individual in my collection became bloated and was unable to submerge. A veterinarian who worked with me at the Bronx Zoo prescribed Itraconizole and other medications, but the infection proved resistant to all. I refrigerated the animal […]
[…]below if you need a reference to a local veterinarian experienced in turtle care. Hatching the Eggs While the eggs of Common Snapping Turtles and other consummate survivors will often do well at room temperatures (in a hot room, in summer), a reptile egg incubator will greatly simplify the hatching […]
[…]Choke Hazards I came upon the idea of using the Cone Worm Feeder many years ago when raising axolotl and red-spotted newt larvae. I fed them largely upon live blackworms, which always clump together, even when finely chopped. I found that larvae of both species sometimes choked to death while […]

[…]to show such reproductive flexibility. When breeding near shaded ponds, hourglass frogs lay their eggs on tree leaves overhanging the water (the tadpoles drop into the water upon hatching), thus avoiding fish and other aquatic predators. However, when utilizing ponds exposed to the sun, the majority of the frogs lay […]

[…]is continually added to the retained eggs, draining the female’s supplies and rendering the eggs ever-more difficult to pass. Eventually, the eggs will break and/or decay, and an infection known as egg yolk peritonitis will set in. If untreated, the female will die. Determining if your Turtle is Gravid Another […]
[…]is acquiring eggs to feed them. Most egg-eaters are too small to take regularly available chicken eggs. Depending on the size of your snake you may feed eggs from pigeons, Coturnix quail, doves, Button quail, or finch. Generally speaking, Coturnix quail eggs (the quail egg eaten as a delicacy) are […]
[…]in late summer or early fall. Clutch size varies from 3-21, with 9 eggs being the average. Eggs and Hatchlings Eggs incubated in moist vermiculite (use a vermiculite: water ratio of 1:1 by weight – please see article below for details) at 82 F will hatch in 45-75 days. The […]
[…]hatchlings in large exhibits without having been aware that a nest was present. Incubating the Eggs The eggs should be removed to a reptile egg incubator set at 82-85 F. At these temperatures, the eggs will hatch in 60-70 days. The hatchlings average just over 5 inches in length, and […]
