Life cycle

The axolotl has an interesting life cycle.. Axolotls will start off as an egg thing then forms into a type of larva thing.Axolotls won't get eggs until they are 5 months old.  Boys won’t fully mature till they are six months old.  When the axolotls want to make eggs the male axolotl will raise their tail and releases a thing called spermatophore then get the female to follow the male axolotl.  Then the male takes the female over the spermatophore then it goes into the female and the female fertilises it and then she has eggs.

Axolotls can be a very good pet but make sure you have the requirements to keep the axolotls alive.
