A very busy morning at the axolotl frat house!

🌿 The Tale of Two Copper Axies 🌿

Meet Kirby and Anakin — two Copper axolotls with matching morphs but totally different vibes. Kirby’s rocking the glow-up thanks to his GFP DNA (he illuminates green under blue light — even his eyes are green!). Both also have beautiful iridophores, giving their skin that shimmery golden sheen when the light hits just right. ✨

Same morph, double the charm. 💚

Kirby is looking more like a boy with each passing day. Once confirmed in the next week or 2, that means FrillyGills is an axolotl frat house!

There was hope to raise a clutch of babies in 2026, but without a female that simply won’t happen. So the decision to acquire a confirmed female is up for consideration along with potentially securing fertilized eggs from a reputable breeder.

Decisions, decisions 🤔…

It’s a BOY!! Pixel started “showing” within the last week what their gender was. After confirming my suspicions with the breeder, they agree that Pixel is beginning to show their male parts.

Still waiting for Lumon & Kirby to show their goods too. Based on what I’m seeing today, Lumon is likely male & Kirby female.

🌊💖 Just gill-ty of showing off my fabulous frills! Breathing never looked so gill-amorous—these fluffy pink gills aren’t just for looks, they keep me thriving underwater. Talk about a “frill-iant” design! 🐾✨

✨ My pets glow in the dark... ✨

Ever seen an axolotl that glows under blacklight? 🦎💚

Meet my GFP (green fluorescent protein) axolotls — Kirby and Lumon! Under normal light, they look like their regular adorable selves, but under a UV/blue light, they light up in neon green.

GFP is a harmless genetic trait originally discovered in jellyfish. It’s passed down through generations of axolotls, and while it’s often used in science to track cells, in the pet world it’s just a magical quirk that makes them glow like tiny, frilly, underwater fireflies.

See pics below of Kirby and Lumon where you can see their neon magic in action! ✨
