Ah, yeah, they like coooold water. Like goldies XD
I hope you get that room set up, sounds cool!!
And, like another poster said, they only need at most 15-20 gallons as adults. But my kid is only like... four inches long. XD He has a thirty to himself though.

I've also heard that on extremely rare occasions it can actually turn into a full on salamander o-o Probably doesn't happen in an aquarium where there is no chance to go on land though.. I could be wrong also :p

He does have front legs, but one of them got eaten by the other axolotl in the tank where he was living... It is almost fully grown back though, he jus needs to form the toes! X3
They dont morf unless they are chemically induced to do so, and that usually results in a very short lived animal. :(

Hmm where was your guy housed when you got him? It's possible that if he was with other axies they could have nommed his feet. Do you know how old he is? How big is he?
Axolotls will most likely never morph without outside help but I've heard of them morphing before in incredibly bad water conditions

He has a nubby, it was nommed by the leusistic Axxie in the tank with him at the store unfortunately. :( But all he needs now is to reform the toes and he will be complete! XD
I dont know his age, but he is only about four inches long. havent properly measured him though, just eyeballed it. XD I suppose i could call up the pet store and ask if they know how old he is, but i doubt they would.
Of course i am calling it 'he' and it could very well be a 'she', we wont know for a while yet. XD
