Our axolotl, Squirty Benson Wilberforce III is, according to Crox Minor, who knows these things, almost certainly very likely to be possibly has a 1-in-2 chance of being female.
Squirty Benson Wilberforce III, yesterday.
This might, or, then again, might not, have something to do with this mysterious lump of goo that has appeared in her tank. For scale, the whole mass is about the size of a thumbnail.
I’m sorry it’s a bit blurry – it was the best I could do with my iPhone, taking a picture of a rather small mass through glass and several inches of water. Does anyone have a clue what this might be? Squirty appears to be in rude health and possesses all the appendages she did before. At first I thought it was axolotl vomit … but then, thought I, could it be axolotl spawn?
Any ideas?
Please send to the usual address, third park bench on the left, the Esplanade, Cromer, Norfolk, in the Town Hall if wet, send no flowers, you know the drill.
It's a bit of chewing gum.
Maybe a crumb of bread of the great sandwich with meat of cow (to Uruguay) and tomato (to carry to school but did not eating in this day),that throw away at the pond from croxi minima & croxi menor, in order to the axolotl eating.
These are interesting suggestions, gentlemen. I shall investigate.
Upon closer inspection, I think this is a picture taken off a NASA website. That's a bit of Mars. I only recognized it because of the canals in the distance.
Maybe it's a sperm packet – some salamandrids release their sperm in that manner, so perhaps ambystomatids do as well. The female picks up the sperm packet with her cloaca. (Surely you know the joke about animals with cloacas ….)As the rival male in the household, cromercrox, your duty is to eat the sperm packet, thus removing the competitor's gametes.
