This is interesting. That definitely looks like an Ambystoma larva (genus that includes tiger salamanders, Axolotls, and other large salamander species). Tiger salamanders are native and would seem more likely, but, from what I can see online, they don't occur that far south. The southernmost record on Inaturalist is between Gainesville and Tampa. It's too big to be a marbled salamander, and spotted salamanders don't occur in Florida at all. So either tiger salamanders have expanded or there's actually an introduced axolotl population. Axolotls are widespread enough in both the pet trade and in scientific research that introduction to the wild is plausible. However, all online sources say that they cannot tolerate water temperatures above 75 degrees for prolonged periods, and I would certainly think the water in the glades would get warmer than that in the summer. I'd be really interested to see if it's a tiger or truly an axolotl.

I think the dark colored or native types are called mud puppies. When I was younger I got them at bait shops and also found a couple in creeks around SE Texas. They do turn into the coolest black and yellow spotted salamanders. Watch out if you put them with crawfish even though the coexist in the wild. The crawfish tend to pester them in an aquarium. So very cool! Enjoy!

The axolotl is native only to Lake Xochimilco in the Valley of Mexico, as well as the canals and waterways of Mexico City.we concentrate on the early history of the axolotl as a laboratory animal to celebrate that the first living axolotls arrived in Paris in 1864, 159 years ago.

Princess peach is the best name. I hope you pick peaches.❤

Axolotls are practically extinct in the wild, they only live in two lakes, definitely not Florida! I’m guessing that might be a tiger salamander larvae, they look super similar. Make sure there is someplace for the larvae to get out of the water to morph.

Axolotls are native to mexico and they are endangered and an exotic species so they must have been dumped in that pond. They are usually very relaxed and non-agressive amphibians but if startled they can whip their tail and swim away extremely fast. I have four axolotls and they all get on perfectly, although most axolotls prefrere to be alone. They like cold water temperatures and high pH compared to other fish. They will always try to hide because their eyes are very sensitive to bright light, so expect to find them in the shade amongst vegetation. And yes, although they spend most their time in water they do need to breathe air aswell. They can survive in air for about 30 minutes. The axolotl you found was actually quite young. They are baby salamanders actually, thats why they can breathe underwater. But what you found appears not be an axolotl, more a tiger salamander larva.

not watched the video but imma guess that the axolotl is a tiger salamander larva. they will turn into salamanders but can be kept as pets in a terrarium once they morph. give it a platform to get out of the water when it decides to morph. like i said i have not finished watching the video so maybe you already know this

The divot in the sand is from the filter outflow, not the salamander digging. As mentioned in lots of comments, not an axolotl, probably a tiger salamander larva. Axolotls are salamanders, which are amphibians, and this is a similar relative of the axolotl, but will morph into a land dwelling adult form eventually.

Axolotls are so cute 🥰

Axolotls are sensitive to light,so adding caves is a good choice.Digging is how they hunt for food.The crawfish might be something like an albino orange.

Hey man love your videos!!! Just wanted to mention that it’s unfortunately not an axolotl and most likely a juvenile tiger salamander! They do also make wonderful pets but will eventually leave the water and live on land, there’s tons of information online on how to keep them though so if you still want to keep it!! Salamanders are super cool little amphibians and making tanks for them is super fun since you want a water feature in their tank with them! Just remember to use calcium powder on your insects when feeding the little guy so his bones can stay nice and healthy!!!

Even if this is not an axalotl, it is still an amazingly cool find! You are definitely the best at catching exotics in Florida!

I absolutely love axolotl’s, and I’m so glad you got one 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

Yes axolotls can breathe air from the surface.❤And I love your videos!!!

My grandma and grandpa used to have a axolotl,poisonous snake,a turtle,a little pond filled with crabs,and river where we could fish on a Dock ❤

I love how excited you get you're like Hiccup from How to train Your Dragon but with fish. My guess if it is an axolotl it was probably a pet that someone didn't want anymore and released into the wild, which is how you got all those pythons down there.

It’s so heart warming seeing you smile man ❤😁

Axolotl’s are my favorite animal

Please be aware these will morph to wanting out of water, whatever enclosure you need it to have access to both under and over water :)

Just a heads up~ you want to be careful with that tank man. It's placed on two stools. So without it being on a flat surface, that is going to cause stress on the tank which could cause it to crack.

When axolotls dig holes in sand a soft patch of sand that they can find it means they're about to lay eggs

Axolotls that is awesome Lotto

Crawfish color is determined by several factors, including diet, age, maturity, and water temperature. In general, juvenile crawfish are green pumpkin colored, while mature crawfish tend to be black or dark brown during the winter months, and turn orange and red during the summer months.

I don’t know a lot about axolotl‘s but adding some plants would be a good idea 😃

bro i do love pleco!!!❤❤❤ since live in aussie don’t had time to setup and care

Yo, I love axolotl’s. OMG they’re so cute.

Call him Everglade! Keep on following your dreams and enjoy your life your doing a great job with these videos!! Love my Florida!!

Bobby, I used to keep Axolotls and they are amazing. They can grow new legs and feet and gills if they get bitten off. I think your other friends here are probably right though that this is a Tiger Salamander larva but I don't see why real Axolotls don't get released from captivity and could breed in the wild away from their natural range where they are nearly extinct. This happens with lots of tropical fish species, and also with reptiles and amphibians. As for a name for him, why not Axl? It's good enough for Axl Rose and is the most obvious name!

Love your videos I wish I could have a fish😊

Just wanted to say i love your videos and to keep on doing what you love!

your reactions are so wholesome, its so nice to see :D

Cool video. Congratulations to you both. Amazing catch guys. God bless you both and your families......🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀

Axolotls are so so cute when they are tiny 😍

Bobby, they LOVE nightcrawlers. ❤❤❤

Always a great day when bass fishing production uploads

Make sure water temp is between 60-64° F and PH of 7.4-7.6 .... Great channel love you guys.... I'M actually a FL native who has relocated and wish I could have joined you on this trip!

I feel like Axel suits him really well

11:58 so happy for u

Florida really has everything I wish we had that in South Africa 🇿🇦

Brandon just being brutalized by that fishing pole😂😂😂😂😂

I got an add for fishing as I opened your video 😂

Super axy🎉

I think he's probably a salamander, but with the way he kept getting comfortable on your hands and with how funny it is to give an aquatic creature a cat name, I suggest you name him cuddles. Absolutely hilarious. Edit: maybe provide him an area in the tank where he can walk out of the water if he wants to, lower the water and put a big rock in or some wood he can crawl on.

Axolotls also develop lungs. Although their main method of breathing is through their gills, they occasionally use their lungs to breathe in air from the water's surface. Because they live in water their whole lives, they always have a tail and webbed feet for swimming.

Name it blueberry😍😍I'm in love with it

I love watching your videos

Habitat: Freshwater lakes & ponds Lifespan: 10 - 15 Years Size: 15 - 45 cm (6 - 18 inches) also Even though breathing through their lungs is the last source of breathing for an axolotl, it is the only way they can actually breathe air

This is one of the first videos of songs you guys and I subscribed in Princess peach sounds like a good name for that crawl fish

Yes 🙏 🙏 pls

that is so cool

btw i suggest not getting an axolotl. they need cold temperatures like under 70 degrees which will be difficult to maintain in florida

Just came across your channel and it reminds me of my brother and I having fun with a net and a bucket when we were kids...from Jersey to Florida, saltwater and freshwater. KEEP ROCKIN' ... im waiting to see if the saltwater bug will bite you. It's an addiction! I live in boring Iowa nowadays but grow and sell saltwater corals. Keep rocking the HUK and get that saltwater tank/pond cycling !

Sweet pie❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Congrats

His happiness is so contagious

Awesome video as always dude, but keep in mind the temperature of the water should stay between 61 and 64 degrees, other wise it will stress it out.

Axolotls as adults can breath air

I love Ur bids for no reason

They are called "water dogs" in the southwest part of the country and we have tons of them in ponds and lakes here. The are native to this area and are NOT endangered. They net them for live bate fishing in the lakes and rivers of the southwest. So they are not rear or special.

What a great man for dedicating his life to animals

I like the videos that you make❤😊😊😊

She/he is so cute ❤

No joke after I watched you buy 370$ worth of fish from the abandoned fish place and then the video with the blue crawfish when you found the big fish in the Sewer I can definitely say I love your page ❤

Great video keep up the great work! All I know about axolotls is that they are extremely rare and come in a variety of colors!

Axol would be a fitting name. LOL OR Lottie or Lexie...

Hi Guys. I live in Florida. Just wondering, aren't you afraid of alligators? Is there a certain time of year that they are more lethargic and less likely to strike.

Comment a name for our new WILD axolotl🙌🔥

I do love your enthusiasm and joy you show for the animals. I love koi, turtles etc and would be right next to you saving or catching and I am going to be a Gma! Old people love your videos too! Lol I do believe you have a Mole salamander, some can stay in that form so may do exceptionally well in the tank. Could probably put in the koi pond too, maybe see if you can treat safely for parasites before moving. Or keep where he is. They do breed by digging so maybe a pregnant female? Hard to tell. Get snails and blood worms etc for your guy/gal. Dried Shrimp, crickets etc as well.

You need to come to Indiana and teach my son he loves this

You should maybe add a little more axolotols the ONE ALL ALONE must feel lonley plus a second sleeping area for the second one too!

Are you planning on keeping him even though he’s not an axolotl?

Love your videos man! Wish we had wild fish/creatures like this in the UK! Good job bro

Axolotls are so cute and they smile

I love axolotls their just ahhhhhhhhh. TO CUTE

It's more likely that salamander is a type of tiger salamander that's in it's full aquatic mode, if you leave it out of the water long enough it's gills will disappear and its body will become better for living on the land

I'm so jealous of your "koi" pond. It's beautiful! Hope you are doing well in your part of Fl.

make some more axolotl videos I love axolotl

They'll grow bigger as time goes by and as the age

Are you going back to the abandoned pet store for the other fish?

florida has everything keep up the good work BFP

Axis dig when nervous 😊

❤ you do put all your lizards in the same tank to be cool to see the different colors

This video was extremely entertaining! I’ve been watching your content quite a bit recently and I’ve really enjoyed it! 👍 I think you should name it Evi if it’s a female or Evan if it’s a male; they’re meant to be short for Everglades 😁

Some tips: DO NOT CATCH IT IN THE WILD. Do not touch it with ur hands for to long. Give it a BIG tank so not the small tank it has now

I love your video and you grab some coral sanke that s pretty scry

i have seen the viedo . nice coi you got if ther stell thier do a part 2 . nice axolotlls

Kept 2 in my aquarium for over 6 year! Would love to have a couple more for my aquariums but no such luck. They called them here in Alabama, sirens. Purchased them at 1” & grew over 2’. Very cool pet

I don't think that's an axolotl... florida is a hot place, and axolotl need cold water, so if he was one he would have died, i think that's some kind of salamander larvae, and i wouldn't recommend keeping him cause for what i read salamander are really hard to care for, and if he was an axolotl you would need documents

I love axolotls but I like the pink ones more❤

Maybe Something that pops bubbles that Axolotls like

He’s so inspiring and I appreciate all the work that you put into your videos and I’m sure other people do too

To be honest I have 87 axalotls in my house ,but they are very endangered and they are actually from specific lake from mexico but they can change genders but if you feed ur axalotls then only feed them with blood worms,earth worms and shrimps but cut the shrimps and axalotls arent aloud sand if their only 7 months old. Edit:Axalotls ARE NOT ALOUD TO BREATH AIR,but they only have 30 seconds of breathing air,and plus their eggs look like Big circles. UR WELCOME

I love this

Yes please!

Name the axolotl lily ❤🎉❤🎉

I don’t think that’s an axolotl- unless you teleported to Mexico but either way it would be incredibly rare considering their low numbers in the wild it may be a tiger salamander larvae which explains the coppery look

Axolotl a ind dinjid🦎🌊

Liked the video Bobby
