Could anyone kindly rehome our axolotl?

We have a 2+year-old dark axolotl (we don't know his exact age as he was a rescue from a horrible pet-shop environment, and we have assumed he is male as he is large, around 30cm). He is called Brian! Very VERY sadly, we are moving house and just don't think we can take him as we will have limited space. My son is also away at school now and I would love Brian to go to an owner who will really appreciate him. If anyone could help by taking him I would be hugely grateful. We live in West Sussex but I could certainly transport him a reasonable distance from here. Thank you very much.

I run a rescue in Kent, I can take him if you can't find anyone closer.

Hi Jane.
Such a shame that you will not be able to take Brian with you when you move, but these things happen.
It might be worth posting some pictures of Brian, and letting people know when you will need him re-homed by.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
