	Axolotls - Frequently Asked Questions
		If your axolotl shows obvious signs of having problems with the light after it has had a period to adjust to it, you would be advised to try a different type of bulb or a less bright bulb.
		Axolotls are only tricky to feed for the first 2 weeks of their life (that's 2 weeks if kept between 20 ° and 24 °C / 68-75 °F and fed twice daily as much as they will eat in 15 mins).
		Assuming your axolotl isn't albino as well as white (if it has pink eyes it's also albino), then it is quite normal for a white axolotl to have a few spots on the top of its body.

		The axolotl tanks feature in the fictional ' Dune' series by Frank Herbert.
		Axolotl tanks are produced by the Tleilaxu and serve as wombs in which a clone or ghola can be grown, in later books the axolotl tanks have been upgraded and are also capable of producing the spice melange.
		During the final two Dune books, it is remarked that nobody has ever seen a Tleilaxu female, this is because females in Tleilaxu society are taken and turned into axolotl tanks by a process of genetic mutation.

		The Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is a large Mexican salamander noted for its demonstration of neoteny, remaining in its aquatic larval form even as a sexually mature adult and not undergoing metamorphosis into a terrestrial form.
		Also, axolotls have cousins often referred to as "mud puppies" that appear similar and are found throughout Mexico and in many places in the southern United States.

		The Axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is an aquatic salamander.
		A fully grown axolotl, at age 18–24 months, ranges in length from 150–450 mm (6–18 inches), although a size close to 230 mm (9 inches) is most common and greater than 300 mm (12 inches) is rare.
		Wild axolotls are rarely white, though all leucistic (white with fl eyes) axolotls are decended from a single mutant male brought to Paris in 1863 in a shipment to the Jardin des Plantes in the city.

		A ghola is a clone, grown in an axolotl tank[?] from the DNA of a another person.
		At the time of Dune, gholas have no access to the lives of the person from whom they were cloned, but after Dune Messiah, it's discovered that a ghola can recover her genetic memory during a carefully staged moment of great stress.
		An axolotl tank is essentially a braindead woman whose womb is used as a tank to create gholas and other creatures.

		The axolotl is a neotenic salamander, one that retains its larval form with gills, and usually living in the water all of its life.
		Axolotls are neotonous, meaning they can live and breed in what is really a larval form, more or less an immature state.
		Axolotls kept in well-aerated tanks may lose their feathery gills since the air needed for survival can be obtained directly through the skin of the animal.

	Reptiles and Amphibians » Salamanders » Axolotl Main Page
		Axolotl are moderately easy to care for and are popular as pets and laboratory animals, although the wild Axolotls are considered an endangered species.
		Although the axolotl can live its entire life, and indeed breed, in its larval stage, its development into a full-grown salamander can be induced by a lowering of the water depth to less than the height of the animal, accompanied by a sudden temperature increase.
		Axolotl translates directly as "water-dog," from atl meaning "water" and xolotl meaning "dog," although it is also thought that the name is related to the god of death and deformation, Xolotl.

	El Axolotl
		I knew better later; the gill contraction, the tentative reckoning of the delicate feet on the stones, the abrupt swimming (some of them swim with a simple undulation of the body) proved to me that they were capable of escaping that mineral lethargy in which they spent whole hours.
		Not possible that such a terrible expression which was attaining the overthrow of that forced blankness on their stone faces should carry any message other than one of pain, proof of that eternal sentence, of that liquid hell they were undergoing.
		Ahora soy definitivamente un axolotl, y si pienso como un hombre es sólo porque todo axolotl piensa como un hombre dentro de su imagen de piedra rosa.

		The wild type axolotl is perhaps the most similar in appearance to the larval tiger salamander, with an olive green to grayish dorsal coloration, mottled with fl or brown.
		In addition to the previously described physical differences, the wild type axolotl can be distinguished from the larval tiger salamanders by the presence of higher levels of dark mottling about the body (in most cases).
		For larval tiger salamanders, the tank should be mostly water, with an adequately-sized, easily-accessible land area for new morphs to emerge onto.

		The axolotl is mentioned in the musical Children of Eden by Stephen Schwartz.
		The use of the axolotl can perhaps be seen as a metaphor for Alice's own state of suspension and the ability, or helplessness, of a being, whether in coma or emotional trauma, to move forward, stay suspended, or die that way, depending on environment and circumstance.

	Care And Feeding
		Axolotls are more mostly nocturnal; they do not like a lot of sunlight, and should have a place to hide when it gets too bright.
		Just because an axolotl is capable of changing doesn't mean that the process won't be tough on him (imagine going through puberty again, only this time you lose all your hair and your eyes bug out to twice their size!), and the stress caused by some methods causes death before change even begins.
		Very old axolotls may be identifiable by numerous benign bumps (edema; pockets of fluid under the skin), "battle scars", and malformed limbs (due to the not-quite-perfect regeneration of a lost limb.) These are not infallible indicators, though.

		The axolotl is a salamander-type of animal that lives in the large aquarium tanks in this Museum.
		The story states that an axolotl is a “larval stage (providing gills) of a species of salamander of the genus Ambystoma.” Special features include six strange-looking gills around their head, a white, almost see-through body, and four pointed little toes, with what appear to be fingernails on each one.
		I was an axolotl..” From this point on, he believed that he was living his consciousness inside of the axolotl, inside of the aquarium tank.

		Although it is possible in certain circumstances to promote the development of an axolotl into a salamander, it is not recommended and may actually harm the axolotl in the process.
		Axolotls appear in five predominant colours; a mottled fl/green is the wild type colour whilst fl, gold, white and albino are also common.
		Axolotls will snap out at anything within reach and fish may also nip at the axolotl's gills, so it is recommended not to keep other small animals in the tank.

	Axolotl by Julio Cortazar
		In the library at Sainte-Geneviève, I consulted a dictionary and learned that axolotls are the larval stage (provided with gills) of a species of salamander of the genus Ambystoma.
		It's that we don't enjoy moving a lot, and the tank is so cramped—we barely move in any direction and we're hitting one of the others with our tail or our head—difficulties arise, fights, tiredness.
		The horror began—I learned in the same moment —of believing myself prisoner in the body of an axolotl, metamorphosed into him with my human mind intact, buried alive in an axolotl, condemned to move lucidly among unconscious creatures.

		The axlotl tanks were living organisms, and the means by which the Bene Tleilax reproduced.
		The Bene Gesserit suspected that the axlotl tanks were what remained of female Tleilaxu, since no Tleilaxu females had ever been seen.
		Despite the revulsion axlotl tanks caused in many groups and cultures, by the time the Honored Matres had conquered the planets of the Old Imperium, the Bene Gesserit had adopted them for the creation of gholas to further their cause.

		Gholas are essentially clones grown in axolotl tanks from genetic material retrieved from the cells of a deceased subject.
		But the stress of attempting to kill someone who was deeply loved in the ghola's previous incarnation breaks the mental barrier between the ghola's consciousness and the life memories of the original (though not between the subject and his ancestors).
		The Tleilaxu masters, using the technology of axlotl tanks and the ability of a ghola to recover its memories, grant themselves effective immortality: every master is "recreated" upon his death, and recovers his genetic memories, accumulating many generations of knowledge and experience, and permitting planning on a timespan of millennia.
