At what age should my axie be mature enough to breed?

Axolotls are illegal in California. Please read this thread for detailed information and links to the actual laws: https://www.caudata.org/threads/axolotls-are-illegal-in-california-here-are-the-relevant-laws.30779/

For up to 1000 babies? I doubt it.
Raising offspring is seriously time consuming, and expensive. You won't be allowed to let the temperatures get over 20C. You won't be able to go on vacation (or even leave for longer than overnight) for months. You'll have to seperate them according to size, or they'll eat each other. Then you'll have to home them all when they get bigger.
"Because she'll make pretty babies" is not a legitimate reason to breed anything, especially something as hard to place as axolotls.

I have 4 3 ft tanks and 2 2ft tanks. I dont rekon all of them will survive on my first try anyway.
I have read all about raising the babies.
Its just knowing when the axie is old enough.

I raised 8 offspring, kept 2 of them myself. It took me over 6 months to get rid of the other 6. There is little demand for axolotls, and I highly doubt you'd be able to sell even 20 of them. Selling them to a pet shop means they'll be cared for (and eventually bought) by people who don't know squat about them, and probably won't bother to learn.
There is no reason to breed axolotls unless you are positive you can place ALL the offspring into households that will care for them.

Once the axolotl is between 8-10 months old it should be sexually mature and can breed although the female axolotl may not alwaes be ready to breed...

Lorie, again, there isn't much demand for axolotls. Breeding them increases supply, but not demand. There are hundreds of thousands of axolotls (probably more!) in captivity. There's no need to 'get their numbers up'.
