:luv: I love sandy. He is my pet albino axolotl. He is cute. :rant: Oh, right. Yeah, well if u didn't know what an axootl? axolotl sorry, is, it is a salamander tadpole which isn't meant to grow up. They are a good example of somthing in latin which means they can breed underwater without being fish or adults. If you look at him from the right angle, his eyes are a sparkling blue.

what a funny animal

A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective.

Very cute :luv:
Please tell me what a waterdog is though. Is it the same thing, just a different name or what? :blink:

a waterdog is the larval stage of a tiger salamander(it will eventually lose its gills and move onto land) it looks nearly the same as an axolotl
