How much are axolotls?

Answer 1

It depends on where you are purchasing them from.

If you find them at a pet store that sells them as an amphibian (meaning they'll house them in that department) they can be around $30-$50; their price is usually based on their age/size/variation. If you find them in an aquarium store, they will most often be a little less pricey.

If you can get them from a local breeder they range between $10-$30 on average; again, price is based on age/size/color variation. Most breeders do not advertise their stock outside of being a distributor to pet stores so they can be difficult to locate and get in touch with (and your neighborhood pet store will not disclose who they buy from willingly because they want you to spend your dollar there).

However, if you search for a reptile/amphibian or exotic pet show/fair you can usually find a breeder or two present and more than willing to make a deal, especially if you're interested in acquiring several of their live stock. Many large cities across the US will have an organization that will host a monthly or bi-monthly pet trade/swap for a variety of animals, housing, maintenance supplies and foods. It's well worth the effort to look into finding one near you as you'll save over 30-60% over the final cost of purchasing from a large chain pet store. Not to mention, the quality of the animals directly from the breeders tend to be much higher and since the breeders are present, you are able to ask them any question regarding the life, habitat and care of the animals.
