Question: How Much Would You Pay?
- Thread starter NikkiMI
- Start date
Well that depends on how much money I have in my bank and how healthy it looked. I'm already paying about $30 for each axolotl and for one from a breeder or a fancy colour I'd be willing to pay more 
but some people are more broke than me lol

Rarity and demand will both play into pricing, beings they are hard to find, expect to pay more. Good luck in your search.

I personally think up to about $100 for a nice healthy axolotl really isn't that much considering how much enjoyment you'll get from it and how long they live. Once purchased they are relatively cheap to maintain and if you ever decide to breed them you can usually recoup the purchase price very easily.

Rare axolotls are worth the money as long as you get them from a reputable breeder. I think the most I ever paid for an axolotl was a little over 100.00.
Wow. I think I would only pay that much for a "silver dalmatian" (or at least that's what I call it,lol) and chimera. Both are so beautiful to me! I think the only way I'd ever get one of those would be through random luck breeding my own. Otherwise they prolly cost an arm and a leg ,lol.

I have 2 Silver Dalmatians (so I'm told)
& they were both free
I also have coppers & know where there are lovely copper babies going for no more than any other colour ($15).
It's a shame I'm in Australia

Nikki71 - You are killing me!!!! :kill: I guess us Nikki's have good taste, because you have everything I want, and freaking majestic silver dalmatians for FREE?? I need to buy a ticket to Australia and smuggle some axies back with me Lucky you! :happy: I wish I could find a silver dalmatian here They are so stinking awesome to me. I never hear people talk about them, so they're either really hard to find, or underrated I guess . Well, take good care of your babies

Well, take good care of your babies lol my first lotl came home as an egg on a plant bought for a Betta in the only tank I owned-no filter just an air stone....
I laughingly say this is the first hobby that chose me now I have 9 tanks
(3 are tropical fish & 6 are lotl tanks!!)
but I wouldn't change it for another hobby.
Here's the free egg that turned
into a Splat my original lotl

I just got my first axie from a caudata member and she was very reasonable, the axie was very healthy and ready to eat when he got here. If you're in the US and you want one, you might contact wanttoknow and see if she has the color you're looking for. She's very reasonable on her prices and great to work with.

Hey Nikki! What is a silver dalmation? (I can imagine...but this is the first I'm hearing about this morph (?))...
If you look at the US wanted ads you'll see a post I made which includes a pic. However, upon further online investigation last night, it appears its also referred to as a spotted light melanoid :ha:. I have a theory that what is being called "silver dalmatian" is actually just a very light colored melanoid with distinct spots :shocked: After finding that out I was going to remove my wanted ad, but I can't seem to figure out how,lol.
After finding that out I was going to remove my wanted ad, but I can't seem to figure out how,lol.I put a pic up of my Splat to show the colouring - a couple of people have mentioned that Splats colour is called a silver Dalmation.
I agree they are just light coloured melanoids but they are very grey with darker grey spots & can have the burgundy or dark gills.

Shane douglas:with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??+1

Thorninmyside: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+1

Clareclare: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?+1
