Lexington Axolotls

01/15/2024

Hey all! Happy New Year. I’ve taken a bit of a break from new breeding to allow live food sources to bulk back up and give my adults some rest.

I have some holdbacks I will make available. A few male & female leucistics, one female albino, and a perhaps one male melanoid (still on the fence about letting this one go).

Would love to see these go to new waters in the coming months. Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a pet axolotl. I’m happy to provide basic care information and answer questions. Take care!

Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for older axolotls. I have a few near adult size (A hefty leucistic, couple of melanoids, and an albino) along with a few smaller leucistics. Happy to answer questions and pickup is in Lexington. Take care!!

There is a wonderful google doodle that is Axolotl themed today. Great interactive activity for the kids and kids-at-heart!

I see a leucistic and melanoid growing. Watching axolotls develop in eggs is still so neat. Expectations are melanoid, leucistic, and albino in this clutch.

Happy Spring!

Anyone looking for adult male axolotls?? I have a few holdbacks that could use new homes. I have 1 leucistic and 2 melanoid. Send me a message if you’d like to chat about them.

Also, I have a few unsexed juveniles that I would consider releasing. Mostly leucistic (one albino).

I’m happy to answer questions, provide care information or basic setup advice, and even direct you to other breeders who may have the color types you are after. Hope everyone is well!!

Been a while since I have posted. Most of the little ones raised up this year are in new homes. Hopefully they are thriving! If you have received one from me, please consider sharing how they are doing and leave a review. I’d love to be able to help other acquire axolotls in the future.

If you’re looking or have questions, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to help in any way I am able.

Happy New Year and take care!!

Still have some melanoids looking for new waters. They are 6-7” now and still just $50.

I should have smaller leucistic and golden albinos soon as well. Reach out if you’re looking to pick one up!

It has been a wonderful weekend getting axolotls to new homes. I love seeing adults and children light up when they take their new axolotls home! There are still melanoids and leucistics left and you can reach out to me any time to ask questions or arrange a pickup.

Anyone like short stories? I recall reading this one many years ago and stumbled upon it again recently. Check it out if you have some time.

Hey, how are you?? Hope all is well.

Just wanted to check in. I have a number of melanoid available. There are only a couple leucistics left. If you’re still interested in getting one, please let me know soon before they eat all my food and prices go up again!

Also, if you have gotten an Axolotl from me in the past, I’d appreciate a review or recommendation. Some new people shy away and have even thought I was a scammer. A few minutes from you can help others find and enjoy these awesome creatures.

Hey there!! We are all out of golden albino at the 4-5” size. There are a few leucistics and melanoid available. Feel free to reach out if you’re interested!

I have another smaller clutch growing up, but they may not be ready for a while. As always, I’m also willing to help answer questions. Hope you’re all well. Take care!

Happy Sunday! I got home last night and took a couple quick pics of a couple young axolotls as I was changing water and feeding. I also found my new favorite theory of dinosaur extinction courtesy of Dinosaur World in Cave City, Kentucky 😂

I’m planning to meet some folks this afternoon and send little ones off to new homes. If you’re interested in getting an Axolotl; today is the last opportunity to acquire ones from this group at the $40 price.

Please reach out and let me know if you want to meet. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hey there!

Just a notice that I will be unable to meet up until July 10th. If you have any question, I’m happy to answer.

Hope you all have a wonderful 4th!

Snapped a couple quick pictures during a water change this week. One day I’ll slow down and get some good shots!

If you’re interested in acquiring an Axolotl; I have some available now. There are leucistic, golden albino, and melanoids ready for new homes. They are 4 inches and growing out well. Im lucky to still be able to offer them at $40. This may be the last week or so I can keep them at this price. Remember, these are for local pickup in Lexington, KY.

So, now is the time! Feel free to reach out with any questions. If they are care related and not answered by my previous post on caring for an Axolotl, I’m more than happy to discuss with you.

Hope you are well and thriving. Take care!!

Welcome to all the new people finding my page!

I was feeding some smaller ones and their parents today and just found their personalities coming out in full. One almost back flipped trying to get me to feed it.

Plenty of leucistic, melanoid, and golden albino youngsters available if you’re looking. I’d love to see them go off to loving homes!
