Species Characteristics
Physical Description
The Striped axolotl is a small species, reaching only 15.5cm (6.1in) total length (TL) at most. Their tails remain tall and paddle-like into adulthood. As their name suggests, the defining feature of this species is a broken but well-visible stripe running down either side, usually yellow or white in contrast with the gray, brown or olive color of the rest of the body.
