Tama's Metamorphosis
<span style="color:#400080">Wanted to share some photos of Tama our tiger salamander. When we first got her we thought she was an axolotl which is a full aquatic creature but we soon found out she was a tiger salamander larva. She is a real neat little salamander, she is quite sociable and comes toward us when we open her tank top. She is hand fed and it's been so neat to watch her change. Even now her color is still changing and she is getting more yellow. It can take up to a year for her pattern to fully form. Hope you enjoy her transformation
