The Axolotl, scientifically known as Ambystoma mexicanum, is a fascinating and unique species of aquatic salamander native to the lake complex of Xochimilco near Mexico City. Despite being critically endangered in the wild, axolotls are widely cherished in the pet trade for their extraordinary ability to regenerate limbs and other body parts, as well as their permanently juvenile appearance, which they maintain throughout their lives due to a condition known as neoteny. Axolotls can grow up to 30 cm (12 inches) in length and come in a variety of colours, including wild-type (greenish-brown), leucistic (pale pink with black eyes), albino, golden, and melanoid (dark black). The tank should have a fine substrate, such as sand, to prevent impaction from coarse materials and provide hiding spots like caves and plants. With proper care, axolotls are rewarding pets, known for their curious behaviour and interaction with their owners.
