The axolotl has a beautiful metallic sheen. The freckling on its back and head is well defined. It’s exactly what I expected from a copper morph. Arrived within 24 hours of ordering.
Samantha Hughes –
The color is rich and warm. It’s not as bright as some might expect, but the natural copper tones are very appealing. A bit more cautious with handling since it’s delicate.
