According to the care sheets on this site it is inadvisable to breed female axolotls before 18 months ( Axolotls - Breeding Axolotls Successfully ) as it may cause health problems. I have had a number of females breed before a year of age and have observed no problems, once a tank full of nine month old ones who were triggered by a storm and four or five layed. Also four of my existing females , now over five years old, bred around a year old , again I observed no problems.
I posted this topic on my face book group (axolotl care), a number of respected breeders posted that this was not correct as far as they were concerned as they had observed no issues with breeding young females. I was actually removed from another Facebook group for posting about this as apparently a female bred before 18 months is doomed. I would like to see how many people have encountered problems with female axolotls breeding under a year of age.
