I no nothing about reptiles but today I was at a reptile expo and I saw a lizard with gills AND lungs. :? Does anyone know WTH this is. They had these long beard looking things around their neck.
What he said. Actually, here:Probably an axolotl or a large salamander nymph. Amphibian, not reptile though.
Why don't they reach maturity? Are they just not very hardy?They are amphibians that almost never reach adulthood or maturity...most never do in captivity, mine did! I owned an albino one for nearly I believe it was 6 years, during the last 2 it shed its gills and spent most of it's time on a rock half out of water. they are very hard to keep unless you think hand feeding every time on the end of a popcicle stick is easy. I also have him tattooed around my ankel.
so axolotl's are baby salamanders? or are they a different thing i was told salamanders and axolotl's are different animalsProbably an axolotl or a large salamander nymph. Amphibian, not reptile though.
An axolotl is a species of amphibian not a salamander in it's larval stage.so axolotl's are baby salamanders? or are they a different thing i was told salamanders and axolotl's are different animals
