I am really proud of this picture.
Of course the secret is the model:
Look at my boy Danger posing so beautifully for his Grandma (He’s Tash’s amphibian).
I had grabbed my camera to take a photo of my lazy layabout , the currently concussed but continually confused Gavin when Danger saw the camera and thinking I wanted a picture of my most unusual pet posed like the gorgeous boy he is. Unlike Gavin:
Taken 5 minutes later.
Compare the two photos; one subject alert, trim, posed, the other my life partner.
No complaints from the Gavin fan club.
By the way if you are an axolotyl; aka mud puppy or Mexican Walking Fish, expert and have noticed that Danger is in fact a she, please let us know, we have no idea!
do axolotyls cuddle? (that sounds like the beginning of a poem)

He used to cuddle his sister, and he likes to be petted, so I think the decisive answer would have to be ‘kinda”.

aww. i always thought the main drawback to fish was you couldnt really pet them. theyre still amazing, but its nice to know theres (sort of) one you can pet.

He’s an amphibian, but many fish also like to be petted. Tash had a Siamese fighting fish who would swim to the top of the tank every time he saw her to get a pat, and I once separated two territorial males by putting my hand in the tank & they gave up the fight to cuddle my hand. Pet fish get very affectionate.
