Description
Copper colored axolotls have a light gray body with copper-colored freckles and gray irises. They also have grayish-red gills and a lighter belly. Some copper axolotls are more caramel in color and others are almost pink.
Their cute, speckled faces and sandy colors make this morph popular in areas where they are sold. The first lines of copper axolotls originated in the U.S. and Australia. They are harder to find in other countries.
The copper morph is a less-extreme example of albinism. They have reduced levels of melanin and pteridines, but these pigments are not completely absent. Coppers can be bred with other morphs, resulting in specific varieties like melanoid and axanthic copper.
