Possibly wanting an Axolotl (Need info)

[DeCypher]

Okay so I've been looking at Axolotls online for a while now, and I'm considering buying one. Are they an easier or harder species? What temperature/setup do they need? Is anyone selling any in the U.S. at the moment? I would preferably like a white or a dark Axolotl...

Have you read The Axolotl Site yet? In addition, the axolotl section to the forum has approximately a bazillion threads in it. I guarantee almost any beginner question you have has been asked and answered there.

Have patience and you should find plenty of quality hobbyists and breeders on this site that have nice axolotls for sale.

I checked out the Axolotl site, and it was very helpful. The only Caudates I am experienced with is Notophthalmus Viridescens. Is there much of a difference between the two? The only other question I have left is...who is selling dark/wild-type Axolotls at the moment?

There's a significant amount of difference. They're not closely related.

The 'for sale' section is kept up to date.
