Meet Peter – High-Iridophore Golden Albino Male Axolotl
 
Peter is a handsome High-Iridophore Golden Albino male axolotl with warm golden colouring and reflective iridophores that give him plenty of natural sparkle.

You Know Exactly Who You’re Bringing Home
 
At Little Lotl’s Australia, you are choosing an individual axolotl, not an anonymous animal from a group.

What Does B Grade Mean?
 
Peter is classified as B Grade because of cosmetic differences or physical imperfections that do not affect his general health or quality of life.
 
B Grade does not mean sick, unhealthy or unsuitable as a companion animal. Peter is healthy, established and receives the same experienced care as our other axolotls.
 
Peter has reviewed the grading paperwork and appears to consider it somebody else's problem.

Peter’s Personality
 
Peter keeps a close eye on activity around his aquarium, particularly when food may be involved.
He is also exceptionally talented at looking innocent while clearly expecting dinner.
 
Behaviour may change after moving to a new environment, but our observations help you get to know the individual animal you are choosing.
 
What Makes Peter Special?
 
Peter’s standout feature is his high iridophore expression.
 
Iridophores are reflective pigment cells that create shimmering highlights. Combined with Golden Albino colouring, they give Peter a bright golden appearance under aquarium lighting.
 
His cosmetic differences simply make Peter uniquely Peter.
 
Colour and sparkle may vary with aquarium lighting, photography and screen settings.
