      Fantastic picture. I used to work in a university facility where we bred these guys; they're tough to photograph so well! Nice!

      Thanks & sorry for replying so late. I haven't checked into my flickr account for about a year and was surprised to find comments.

      I got the axolotls from a university I worked at. We ordered it from the axolotls colony at Indiana University, which is now at the University of Kentucky (http://www.ambystoma.org/)... This one is a female and (because I also have a male) it has laid many eggs in the past. I've nurtured two batches of eggs and given quite a lot of axolotls to my friends...)

      Ha! I used to manage the IU Axolotl Colony before it relocated to Kentucky. What a small world!

      Cool, Imamamma! You might have fed my axolotls with brine shrimp at some point. (They were born in 2003, I think.)

      I've always loved that name: IU Axolotl Colony. Too bad they didn't keep it for the one in Kentucky. "Ambystoma Genetic Stock Center" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
