Axolotl eggs to a good home.

Hello everyone,

My two "female" exolotls decided to have babies, which as you can imagine was a huge surprise to me. I've had them for about a year now, I guess sometimes it takes time for the males to mature and look like males (which one does now). The eggs were layed on June 25 and I've been painstaikingly seperating the fertile ones from the nonfertile ones and also changing the water every 2-3 days. A handful of them were cloudy inside the egg so I got rid of those. At this point the embryos started twitching and moving and I can see tiny heads and tails. I attached pictures of the proud parents and babies.

Anyway, of course this miracle of nature happened at the worst possible time (I won't bore you with the reasons), and I don't have the time to take care of the babies. I am hoping someone can take them and just pay for the shipping and materials cost. I'm in North Carolina.

Thanks all.

    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?
