Hello I am sixteen years old and I love animals. I don't usually use forums but I was debating on an axoloti as the lastest addition to my collection. Any information on care level and where I could purchase one would be much appreciated.
p.s. Even though I am only sixteen i have a large collection which includes two seven foot water monitors and a five foot savannah monitor. I have the money,space, and time for an axoloti lol so please dont try to discourage
 
varanid, I moved your post to its own thread. Welcome. You'll find information about where to get an axolotl over in the axolotl forums - it's been asked and answered repeatedly. You can also get answers there to specific questions.
 
Hello there and welcome to the forum,

the first thing you should do is have a look at www.axolotl.org it should have all the information you need regarding care and housing. I know I have learned a lot from this website and if you still have some questions don't hesitate to ask, we will be glad to help.
Next you should make sure that the state you live in allows axies as pets (I am not 100% sure which ones but I know that in some states you can't own them).
Then have a look at the "for-sale" section of this forum, I have had a great experience getting my axies from a member of this forum and if you can't find anything there you can always post an ad in the "wanted" section.
I hope this helps you out a bit. Good luck

P.S: I would really love to see some pictures of your monitors they sound pretty impressive.
 
Welcome! I'm also interested in your monitors. Could you show us your set-ups?
 
Thank you all very much for your help I appreciate it quite a bit. I have always been interested in animals, especially lizards and monitors have always been my favorites. I am only interested in animals as a hobby and am not looking to sell or get into the pet trade. Just something I do with my spare time. The only amphibian i currently have in my collection is a pacman frog haha. I have been looking at axolotis for a long time and they seem like they could be interesting to raise and care for. I only have a few crappy pictures of my older savannah and a couple of my red ackie monitor. The only setup picture I have is of an eight foot cage that is in the process of being built. I lost the hookup for my cellphone and can no longer post pictures. sorry I will fix this soon.
Thanks again a whole lot.
p.s. anybody who is looking to purchase a monitor, DO NOT GET A WATER MONITOR
