Mosaic Axolotl
breeder consensusnot inherited
Colours scattered in patches rather than split down the middle, from a cell-division event after fertilisation.
Why it happens
- Where it comes from
- This is not caused by a gene. It happens during the animal's own development, before it hatches.
- What that means for breeding
- It cannot be bred for, no pairing makes it more likely, and it does not pass to the offspring.
Offspring odds
No numbers for this one.
Mosaic is not inherited — it arises during development rather than from a gene, so it cannot be bred for and no pairing makes it more likely.
Worth knowing. Like a chimera, a mosaic arises during development rather than from a gene. It cannot be bred for and does not pass to its offspring.
What this rests on
Established by breeders through repeated crosses and recorded in community documentation, not by published genetics. That is how almost all morph inheritance is known — and it is worth saying rather than presenting it as laboratory fact.
