YSaC, Vol. 1694: Baby ones are axolitls

2014 April 23

Hoo boy – who ever thought naming an animal an “axolotl” was a good idea?

Aloxolts


Hi craiglisters looking to downsize my animals ill trade for snakes burm or retic pythons, tegu, boas , or what you may have or rehome, my loss is your gain
So i have my entire collection of aloxolts 15+ in all, from two week old babys to almost adults. There in enclosures and eating blood worms, shrimp pellets and more. I have these ty
I am rehoming for 20$ each they are 40$+ or more in stores depending what ones.
Ill rehome everything for 300$ and thats a great deal it was going to be my breeding project in the future and i have to much going on i spent much more on it all than im asking so no low ballers if you take more then two its 15$ each
Thankyou have a nice day

Two anoloxts with setup


I have a albino and a wild caught anolotxs young. Come with full setup 10 g tank, glass top, sand, rock decorations plants etc. Has a submergable 50$ filter.

100$ takes all, or trade for snakes.

Yep, that was pretty much inevitable. I think we’re going to have to invoke the YSaC dog rule (Can’t spell it? Can’t own it!) for an entire species here.

Even if it IS worth a ton of points on a triple word score.

Thanks for the post, Ralph!

    You’ll only trade for snakes? I’m sure many people would trade a chiwawa, datsund, or copper Spaniard.

      I can get you a copper Spaniard if you’re interested. There’s a statue of Don Juan de Onate at a closed museum in north-central NM. The statue sits outside and somebody snuck in one night and cut off one of his feet so it’s not mint condition, but it’d still make a great conversation piece next to your elephant waterfall table.

    I’ll take $300 for anabaptist neotenic paedomorphic Urodelans, Alex. Thanks for axing.

    No, they’re not from the axis of evil and immune to fire. Those are draggins.

    If you’re interested, Sparky, I’ll take that alaxolts and give you my last lacawates valtrus-suka.

    I did have two, but I traded one for a cheehooha.

          Holy crap, they’re actually called “Axolotls”! Although, even with 3 spelling attempts, Sparky still didn’t get it right. Maybe Sparky should do a little less “breeding”.

      Swuft, Spark’ let’s see if we can engage in illegal trade in endangered species–after all nobodt what kin seeya on CL.

      More to the point, there’s no way Spark’ planned for a large enough gene pool for breeding his endangered amphibians–so it’s likely his urgency is related to the number of mutants & abnormalities being experienced.

      Which does not bode well for the presumptive trade for significantly larger reptiles (oops, OMV already mentioned that).

      Reticulated pythons, boas, and all for the lizards known as tegu, you say? You will not be very much popular in south Florida if the neighbors find out (be similar to moving a rabbit or spotted toad farm to Australia).

      Hey, Spark, I’ve got a bunch of Asian Carp and Tiger Mussels I need to store somewhere–your place is ok, right? I’ll throw in the hydrilla and kudzu for free.

      Ceege, I had an axolotl as a pet when I was a teenager. I fed him flies and hamburger. When we couldn’t keep him any longer, we put him out at a lake. Shhh. Don’t tell anyone. Also I had a dream, after watching The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao that the axolotl grew too big for the bowl he was in, and trashed the house.

    You say you want to downsize your animals, yet you want to trade for more animals, bigger animals.
    Downsize: I don’t think it means what you think it means.

    You don’t like the name? Okay, let’s get rid of it. Nahuatl we call it?

    Story time!

    Every time I go into a Subway sandwich shop, I always add an extra ingredient. When the sammich preparer asks, “What would you like on this?”, I say, “lettuce, tomato, green peppers, grilled gopher strips, red onion, and black pepper.”
    I have gotten some strange looks. Next time I think I’ll add “pressed axolotl chips” instead of the “gopher strips” or the “fly trap petals”.
