Indiana University

Have any of you ordered from this place? It says on the web site that you have to be an instructor or researcher. People have told me that this is not the case though. When I emailed them however they would not sell me one for the reason above. Is there a trick to getting one from them?

My grand uncle has been keeping axies for many, many years and he gets his form there. He's teacher but he's not associated with the place.

I'm not sure if they still do this, but I was told that on rare occasions, they will offer adult axolotls to the public when they are past their breeding prime. They're going to be moving the colony to Kentucky soon (?), so I don't know whether their policy will change temporarily because of this.

However, I think your best bet may be to go through a college professor or school teacher to get one.

I heard about the kentucky thing as well. My grand uncle gets his as babies.

My two adult axolotls are from the indiana university, they came all to hawaii..i had to get a special permit and everything. they are really in good condition and they are so healthy, good genes. I had to get my biology teacher to order them for me though, i ordered them when they were only 5cm they were so cute. I got tons of food from though it will last a life-time because you can freeze em
indiana university is a great place to get your axos from

I live in Bloomington and the axolotls made the newspaper's front page yesterday. The colony at IU is moving to Kentucky very soon: June and July.

You have to email them first and tell them why you want them and they will either approve or deny. But, the whole Kentucky thing might have something to do with it too.

I herd if you really bug them they will do it? i read that in another forum a while back
