Axolotl breeders?

[Thatcher]

My mom said I can get an axolotl or two so I want to get one! I was wondering where I could buy some, my brother is a fish expert and I am good at reptile stuff so I think it will work out well I've done research and continue to do it. I'm thinking of naming them Gary and Gerald

Congrats on your pick of new pet. They are fun to keep and very prolific.
1. Are you looking for eggs, baby, juvies, adult and morph.
2. As I am sure you are doing your homework, they require a nice size tank (which your bro can assist you with) .
3. Depending on above size-- There are some in the Craigslist in Northern VA

Note: The ones sold as bait are actually tiger salamander larva (tadpoles) aka water dogs. I don't think they are for sale anymore because they would get off the fishing line and survive. Which would cause an overload of an invasive species into some of the lakes and streams.

That being said: CA does not allow them and I am no longer updated with fish and game rules for other states.

Are you able to provide a cool enough aquarium? If your house or climate is hot you may need a chiller

Every reptile show I've been to has had several breeders—even the smaller shows.
If the shows have websites, they often list vendors. This can be a starting point for vetting breeders.

So I have a 20 gallon is that enough? I would eventually want to upgrade to a 40 or 55
