I have been looking everywhere for a breeder but I cnt seem to find one in brisbane. Someone said it would be best to purchase my axies from a breeder not a pet store.
Could it be that Im hunting for them in the wrong time of the year?

It's a bit early still, but some breeders already are selling axolotls. Just keep a close eye on the "for sale in UK" section.

Jake, it's late summer/early autumn in Australia right now, not spring like the northern hemisphere. Also, for Plonk to get some from the UK would be illegal.

Good call.

You might try here instead...

If you don't find them there, it may be worth it to find axolotl keepers around you and ask them where their axolotls came from.

Good luck in your search.

Thanx, I check that part of the forum out everyday. I dont know anyone who has them, so I think I will just have to go the the pet shop to buy them.

    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?
