FAQs

Are axolotls reptiles?

No, axolotls are not reptiles; they are amphibians, specifically aquatic salamanders belonging to the class Amphibia and the order Caudata.

Can axolotls make good pets?

Axolotls can make good pets for experienced amphibian keepers as they require a well-maintained cool aquatic environment, clean filtered water, and a specialised diet. They have sensitive skin and fragile bodies that need careful handling, making them less suitable for beginners.

Should you touch axolotls with bare hands?

You should avoid touching axolotls with bare hands because their skin is very sensitive and can absorb oils or contaminants that may harm them. If handling is necessary, use sterile nitrile gloves to protect their delicate skin.

What is the lifespan of an axolotl in captivity?

Axolotls typically live over 10 years in captivity when kept in well-maintained conditions with proper care and environment.
