6 Axolotl Reptiles for sale in Brierley Hill, West Midlands

Axolotl, also known as the "walking fish," is a unique amphibian native to the lakes underlying Mexico City. This fascinating species is renowned for its neoteny, meaning it retains its larval features throughout its life, including external feathery gills and a paddle-like tail. These traits give the axolotl a distinct appearance, often described as smiling. Temperament-wise, axolotls are generally calm and solitary, making them suitable as pets for enthusiasts who can provide a spacious, cool aquarium with proper filtration. Important care requirements include maintaining water temperatures between 14-20°C and providing a diet of worms, insects, and small fish. Due to urbanisation and pollution, their natural habitat is critically endangered, which underscores the importance of responsible pet ownership and conservation efforts. Keywords such as "axolotl for sale UK," "axolotl pet," and "buy axolotl" reflect this interest in the UK market for this extraordinary amphibian.

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.
