[Gizmothefreaky]

Axolotls go through phased in Cali of being illegal and legal again, you just have to keep checking. Lol!

And btw, I am a girl. X3

Yay! That gives me so much hope!

[finnfinnfriend]

Under amphibia, it only says some toads....

EDIT: it does say salamanders, but only tiger salamanders...

I don't see caudates anywhere on that list!! The only thing it lists are toads! They are legal right now! Get them while the gettings good! Lol! I wish I had some that we're ready to ship!

[finnfinnfriend]

If you scroll down more there is another list that does include salamanders but it looks like only tiger salamanders!

[Gizmothefreaky]

Yeah, I saw that after... Lol

[finnfinnfriend]

But still it doesnt say axolotls!

Personally, I would follow this: http://www.caudata.org/forum/f1173-a...vant-laws.html
in regards to the law. I don't think I'd own any if I was in Cali simply because their legal status changes all the time, and it's not worth losing my pets to me. But to each their own. -shrugs-

Thankfully I live in Michigan, and my two axie juvies aren't going anywhere! I'll have to get pictures of them up soon...they're finally getting to be more adventurous and journeying out of their hides! Anyone can feel free to PM me any questions regarding axolotls. I'm rather new to the species, but I did lots of research prior to getting mine! I can also give out the name of the breeder I got mine from. He's great!

Agreed. If you look at the banned list under amphibians it lists the Genus Ambystoma which is what genus axolotls belong to. Sure they specify it to mean tiger salamanders but I would doubt that in court you would win a case to keep your axolotl since they are technically listed collectively in the ban under their specific genus.
