Darwin... is a girl!

So it turns out that my axolotl, Darwin, is actually a girl. I've been referring to him as "him" so it will take some effort to start saying "her". Axolotl Biology Page
Because of the type of food they eat the tank becomes dirty quite quickly so yesterday I cleaned out her tank and found that scooping her up in a freezer bag to transfer her to a bowl while cleaning is much less stressful that trying to catch her in a solid tub as I had been doing. She usually thrashes around and goes crazy but this time she just floated calmly into the bag.
Here are some pictures of her enjoying her lovely clean tank.
