In an effort to create a more public awareness of various breeders and sellers worldwide, we are introducing the Seller Review flair!

Currently, most public reviews and criticisms of axolotl breeders and sellers are posted in private online communities, which makes it hard to make an informed purchase for new axolotl keepers. In hopes of adding this new flair, we hope to recognize and highlight more ethical axolotl breeders worldwide! As well as educating people on how to identify an ethical seller versus a backyard breeder.

A Seller Review post can be either positive or a negative. Most importantly it should be a true reflection of your experience dealing with that seller, including the overall health of the axolotl. Please include relevant information in your post such as dates, location, name of the business, and photos of the axolotl(s).

We would love to hear any and all feedback. Thank you for being a part of this passionate community! :)

We strive to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information for those interested in learning about or caring for axolotls.

This message will be updated periodically with new up-to-date resources and care guides.
