Axolotl as pet?

[Dmabster]

Axolotls are awesome! I mean just look at them! I want one! Would it be legal to own a Axolotl as a pet in the united states?

I mean seriously there REAL MUDKIPS!

[InDuStRiEl]

That looks kinda cute. I wouldn't mind having a few of those.

They hide in pokeballs.

Either that or you just don't spend enough time outside.

Ok cool! Im gonna get me an axolotl!

[Zen-Zinxe]

It appears to be a distant relative of mudkips!

[Dmabster]

And also where would i go about finding one? Prof. Birch's Lab?

[ratchet103]

I have never seen one in someones house. I have never seen one in a pet store in my area. I also would never see one outside either. The adults are pretty cool looking though.

Not really.

Heh. Yeah, they're cute alright. As for the legality... don't quote me on this but I think it varies from state to state. I searched google to find a list but... all I found was that if you're in California or New Jersey and perhaps Maine, you're out of luck according to
this

Anyway, you can look at the rest of the search results here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&clien t=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aof ficial&hs=NhT&q=axolotl+united+states+le gality&btnG=Search&aq=f&oq=&aqi=
(be sure to remove the spaces)

Also be sure to read up on them so you'll be able to take care of the little guy if you end up getting one. I'm sure you know that but just a reminder.

[ChickenReaper]

They should be legal

[agustana]

It is so cute.

Awww!

[theshadowwolf]

by the way, if you keep them dry(er than normal, like in puddles instead of underwater), they turn ito salamanders.

[Proottalfain]

Aren't they the animals that regenerate real fast?

That's like the best victim ever for both psychological and physical violence.

No. They're real life Woopers. Which are cool, unlike the gay Mudkips.

Good point, woopers are based of Axolotl. But mudkips are too, based of mudpuppies.

There is no way in hell I'm ever touching one of those things, let alone filling up my aquarium with those fuckers so that they can sacrifice me in my sleep.

I have several of these things, they're both cheap and awesome.

lol, now we just need to know what pet stores sell them...

[Sizzlebuzz]

That looks totally fake. And if it isn't, that is creepy as hell and probably costs a ton.

[RandomExploit]

Axolotls are a critically endangered species.

It'd probably cost a gnarly bunch to buy one as a pet.

Yes

but those are genetically modified, which probably amps the price up and makes them a bit more rare

I had a axolotl for a very little while last year.
I called it McCain because I thought John McCain looks a lot like an axolotl.

It's moved around to families to families for several years...

DId you enjoy your time with it? Me and my friend both want to buy one (each) or two, and she keeps asking if they have charisma.

Not really... you can look at it, but you can't really interact with it.
Plus, it was brief... the little thing had been passed along by so many people for several years.

I gave it away because I got 6 birds to take care of, and my mom disliked the little guy. I think they're adorable... their faces look like pillows.
