[reptilesJD]

Hi everyone , so here is the deal ; I'm going on a trip for a week or so to new York June 26 . at this moment I have 16 baby axolotls about an inch and a half . I wanted to ask you what should I do because I need to sell them before I leave and I cannot take them with me .
Any suggestions would be appreciate , but I'm not going to let them go for less than a hundred which is what I have invest on them thanks for your time and collaboration :smile:

You could post in the for sale section here if you're willing to ship, otherwise on Craigslist. They are probably too small to sell to a pet shop. Unfortunately I think $100 for sixteen 1.5" babies is probably unrealistically high, especially if you're trying to sell them as a group, unless they're special color morphs. If you raise them bigger you might get a better return on your investment, it seems like 3" wildtypes go for $10 or so on here. I think you need to go larger scale or rare colors if you are hoping to make a profit on baby axolotls. Good luck, though!

Here are a couple threads and polls about pricing.
