An axolotl IS A SALAMANDER. It’s just specially adapted to not continue the full process of the metamorphosis. Why is this, well it’s because the gland which releases the hormone for metamorphosis doesn’t release the hormone in them, if the iodine levels get to low the axolotl is then forced into a condition where to survive it releases the hormone but due to the lack of iodine the created is then in a condition it wasn’t supposed to be in and it often dies. It’s a rare even naturally but in captivity can be causes due to poor maintenance.

Well, it was always in their dna, they are like any other salamander but they just never actually had a reason to live on land. Their wild living conditions never made them adapt so they just don't, they are one of the only salamander types that stay in their juvenile form for their whole life. Also turning into a land creature shortens their life span tremendously, after the change they only live for another year or two compared to 5+ depending on how old the axolotl is.

Makes sense. Axolotls are a unique in the regard that they do not 'grow up' by default. For other salamanders being a water animal is a childhood phase, axolotls decided getting out of water was unnecessary and the growing up mechanism was suppressed in this regard. So it makes sense that as a mutation or something this mechanism can just randomly re-appear.

Your metaphor makes no sense- it’s not like making a toddler stay a toddler, it’s like keeping an adult healthy so that they don’t die earlier.

They are born from eggs, have gills (which are the feathery parts on their face), and then they lose those gills and go on land. However axolotls have evolved to not reach their final form.

[@Tokyo_kitofficial]

Axolotls are a unique species of amphibians that exhibit neoteny, which means they retain their juvenile characteristics, including gills and aquatic lifestyle, throughout their lives. Under normal circumstances, axolotls do not naturally undergo metamorphosis to become terrestrial salamanders. However, there are a few methods that can induce metamorphosis in axolotls if desired, but it's important to note that these methods can be stressful and potentially harmful to the axolotl. Therefore, they should only be attempted by experienced individuals or researchers under controlled conditions. 1. Hormonal Induction: Injecting axolotls with specific hormones, such as thyroid hormones or thyroxine, can trigger metamorphosis. This method mimics the natural hormonal changes that occur during metamorphosis in other amphibians. However, it's crucial to note that hormonal induction can be stressful and may have adverse effects on the axolotl's health. 2. Environmental Changes: Altering the environmental conditions can also induce metamorphosis in axolotls. This includes raising the water temperature, reducing water depth, providing a substrate for the axolotl to climb onto, and exposing them to terrestrial conditions. These changes mimic the conditions that trigger metamorphosis in other amphibian species. It's important to closely monitor the axolotl's health and provide appropriate care during this transition period. It's worth mentioning that inducing metamorphosis in axolotls is not a common practice and is typically done for scientific research purposes. Axolotls are highly valued for their unique characteristics, including their regenerative abilities, and they are often kept in their neotenic form as pets or for conservation efforts. If you have an axolotl as a pet and are considering inducing metamorphosis, it's crucial to thoroughly research the process and consult with experts or experienced individuals in the field to ensure the well-being of the axolotl. It very sad how this happens. So doing as much as you can helping them is great ❤

[@raisinbrancerealofficial]

There seems to be some confusion in the comments, so lemme try to help! A true axolotl is neotenic and will not become terrestrial for any other reason than poor living conditions. Axies crossbred with tiger salamanders can become terrestrial due to suppression of the gene, but as far as I know this is also uncommon. I don't know what percentage of axies sold are results of this crossbreeding, but because metamorphisis is still uncommon in the axie keeping community, I would say not many lol Metamorphosis is super stressful and will shorten the axolotls life span, so do not ever try to elicit that response‼️

They are, by definition, neotenic. They shouldn't ever morph in perfect conditions. It is thought by veterinarians to be caused by excessive iodine levels in water. I appreciate the sentiment but "interviewing" axolotl owners isn't a super reliable source. Of course nobody wants to admit they neglected their pets so badly they morphed, and the opportunity for dishonesty is astonishingly high. For now, peer reviewed scientific studies conclude the most likely answer is iodine levels. Please don't discredit the science that exists. It is dangerous to let people believe it is okay for their pets to morph. Additionally; we know for a fact it is not a gene mutation because certain hormones have to be present in order for a change to occur, all axolotls can produce this hormone, but it does typically come from thyroxine. Stress always plays a factor.
