However, Japanese giant salamanders are aquatic their entire lives, even though they lose their gills. So are the other salamanders that are closely related, such as the Chinese giant salamander and the hellbender. Axolotls are commonly available as pets, and are commonly available in albino and leucistic forms, as well as wild type, and a few other color variations. They're easy to keep, eat worms, mealworms, bloodworms, etc. I have an albino and a wild type. They're endangered in the wild, so the individuals you buy will be captive bred (which is a good thing). Be careful the person you buy from is reputable, tiger salamander larvae often get sold as axolotls. Though they're nifty pets as well, they won't remain aquatic. They'll lose their gills and will need to move onto land. Axolotls are neotenous, meaning they stay in what used to be the larval form of their ancestors.

Axolotl's usually stops growing at around 20 centimeters, it's not a large salamander as you said. All of them belong to an order of amphibians called Caudata or Urodela. Those salamanders of the photo are the larvae of Andrias japonicus, the Japanese giant salamander. Not axalotl, it’s axolotl, which means ‘water dog’ in Nahuatl.

The axalotl is a large salamander from Mexico that comes in a variety of colors. It's a different species but similar in appearance to the japanese giant salamander. The axalotl remains completely aquatic for its entire life (i.e. it keeps its gills and can live completely underwater), while the japanese one loses its external gills after about 18 months. They can live completely underwater as long as they have gills. The correct spelling is: axalotl. The axalotl is a large salamander from Mexico that comes in a variety of colors.
