Currently the Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game treat salamanders under the regulations for fish. It is legal to keep only "ornamental fish" as pets. Their is no definitive list of what is allowed and what is not allowed. Each type of salamander is considered on a request basis. The contact person with DFG is Robert Piorkowski.

Robert has assured me it is o.k. to ship axolotls to Alaska.

Thanks Michael. I think it would also be informative if you reposted the text of the letter that you posted in the other thread (threads in the ad sections sometimes get deleted). It gives some additional hints about what kinds of species they would/wouldn't accept coming into the state of AK.
