    You could possibly look at Mavis and know in an instant, but I can't tell my Arthur's from my Marthur's with this species yet [/QUOTE]

    Never mind, perhaps time will tell; meanwhile ‘she’ is a little beauty - so delicate and pretty. How big is she (approx)?

    Thank you I must admit I think for such a strange little thing, she is exceptionally pretty and appealing. She is about 5 1/2 inches in length now, so still very young. She may also just be a little axi, I believe they can grow to anything from 6/7 inches right up to about one foot? She seems to grow a little in length, then fill out to match the length growth. I am delightfully surprised how quickly she has learned to recognise me, and if I show her the tweezers, she instantly goes in to the 'nose up' position because she knows I am about to feed her. I'm totally enchanted with the little soul

    her little hands and feet are just adorable aren't they Whippy! She actually has five toes on each foot, but only four fingers to a hand, but yes, it is quite weird. The hands especially almost look like human baby hands I think.

    Her hands and feet are lovely; and her gills so pretty.
    Do keep us posted with her news and photos!
    I hope she has a long and happy life with you.
    I understand that 10-15 years is the norm, unlike olms.
    I was surprised when I googled to find out.

    Straying from the point again - sorry.
    “The blind salamander (Proteus anguinus), also known as the olm,
    has the longest lifespan of any amphibian, often living to over 70 in zoos and with a predicted maximum age of over 100. It reaches sexual maturity during its fifteenth year and lays about 35 eggs every 12.5 years.”

    What an adorable little critter! I didn't know that axolotles could be so pretty. We used to have one in the biology lab at school, but he was an ugly thing... quite large and a dark brownish/black/green colour. Mavis, on the other hand, is quite a stunner
