Title: Axolotls?
Post by: Sean on August 09, 2013, 11:20:43 PM

So I don't only keep fish I also keep reptiles and I have wanted one of these for a while, and I go down to the reptile show every month so I decided to pick one up this month (tomorrow) anybody ever tried these?

Its a amphibian actually. Had one for like 3 years when I was younger. Pretty easy to take care of. Do have teeth

Send a pm to Mike Gonyeau (Railman4000).  I believe he's breeding multiple variants of these.

Thanks guys. They do look pretty interesting. I like the fact that I can feed them anything (just gotta watch my fingers when hand feeding)

There are a few different ones in mi but Taylor and Kalamazoo are the biggest two. I'm going to Taylor because its only 30 mins away and Kalamazoo is 4 hrs. Plus I gotta pick up a few new things for work
