Any pigment phenotype is possible. Lethal recessives are not expected to segregate. Wild-type axolotls are very dark with yellowish or greenish mottling. May be melanoid unless non-melanoid are requested. Lethal recessives are not expected to segregate.
White axolotls have black eyes and pinkish skin.
Albino embryos are the only ones that we do not routinely sort because of the difficulty of working with pigmentless eggs. Order larger numbers to compensate for those which are infertile or non-viable. Special instructions are available for their handling. When very young axolotls of this genotype are virtually colorless, but as they grow they accumulate riboflavins from their diet, giving them a paler yellow color than is exhibited by the golden albinos. It is similar to appearance to any white axolotl, but the eyes are pinkish rather than black.
