Axolotl Reptiles in Carnforth, Lancashire

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.

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.

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