Thank you Ashley for the ID. Great link, very useful.

Ok so to me this looks like Ambystoma larvae, possibly Ambystoma mavortium. However, I have very little experience with larval salamanders so I am in no way confident about my ID. I found this website, hopefully it will help, http://www.inaturalist.org/check_lists/13932-San-Luis-Potos--Check-List?taxon=20978

Thank you Gerardo. I hope it is an Axolot.
