Leucistic Axolotl (Classic Pink)
To protect our animals and to ensure they arrive healthy, axolotls ship directly from our dedicated breeding partner using expedited overnight service.
The Leucistic Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum), affectionately known as a “Lucy,” is the classic pink axolotl and by far the most recognizable variety in the hobby. It pairs a pale pink to translucent white body with dark eyes and vivid red to burgundy external gills.
Leucistic axolotls are hardy, personable, and widely available, which makes them the usual starting point for anyone new to keeping axolotls. Their pale coloration also shows off the feathery gill filaments better than almost any other morph.

Beautiful pink axolotl with bright gills. A bit shy at first but became active after a few days. The packaging was secure and the delivery was prompt.
