A Bit More About Me
My name is Danielle Laybourn. I'm a realtor, business owner, and unexpected axolotl enthusiast. I rescued Lucy from a cold, cramped garage and fell headfirst into the world of water tests, sponge filters, and gill floofs. What started as a rescue mission turned into a full-blown obsession (and this site). When I'm not working or rearranging Lucy's tank, I'm probably laughing at her weird little "freeze poses." Thanks for stopping by! Here's to bright tanks, healthy pets, and the wonderful world of axolotls!
