Ambystoma mexicanum. Also known as “mole salamanders”, these freshwater aquatic salamanders retain their larval characteristics (gills and existence in an aquatic habitat) even into adulthood, making them ideal subjects for embryological and developmental studies. Their color will vary from albino to brown. Care instructions are included. Average size: 1–4″; but they may grow up to 12″.

Yikes. It sounds like one of those sci-fi movies. You have a fish tank full of these cute little 1 inch critters. Then one night you hear the sound of glass breaking, you open the door and.........

OK,maybe the fictional mutated snakeheads are a bit of a stretch.:D

Calm down. Take a deep breath. Try to think where you saw it last and retrace your steps.

Or look on the dresser. Men never look there, and everything in the free world ends up on the dresser. :p
