Hi Folks,

I am new to this forum and this is actually my first post. My 14 year old son has an albino female and wild male. They are a year old, and as of three weeks ago, we now have about 150 axolotls that have all just grown front legs. My son is wanting to raise and sell them .... does anyone have experience or advice? I'm trying to help in any way that I can -- will petshops buy axolotl's from individuals? Does anyone know of good sources to sell them? We are in Asheville, NC ... thanks for any advice!

I have sold amounts to local pet shops, but only once. I sold them 25 for $8 each, came back the next day and they were $49.99. Outrageous. My best luck has been selling them in the for sale section of the forum, they go quick and (usually) on this forum you know they're going to an educated and nurturing home rather than being neglected with ignorance. Shipping them individually is a hassle but it's worth it. You can also try kingsnake classifieds and faunaclassifieds. Good luck!

Thanks, Austin, I really appreciate your comment. My son and his friend are REALLY into their axolotls, which is great to see with young teenagers. Thanks again.

    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?
