Axolotl eggs, anyone?

I agree that what you suggest is rational. However, I fear I am not capable of follow through this logical course of action.

Then you shouldn't have pets. Any pets. Ever. Unless they're sterile.

I realize that sounds harsh, but seriously, having a pet means being in a position to play god. You can't shirk the responsibility, or keep them in poor conditions and leave it up to "survival of the fittest." The conditions they are in are entirely artificial, manufactured by people. Even if you look away, you're still responsible for them.

And I can't say that selling the eggs sounds like a good long-term idea either. The fact that you don't know what to do with them means it was an unplanned pairing, with no attention paid to selecting for good genetic combinations. It also means that every time your axolotls breed (which they will continue to do unless decisive action is taken), you'll be flooding the gene pool with too many from the same pair. Then the efforts of other intentional breeders, who give their axolotls a rest now and again, and make pointed decisions for the betterment of the species, are completely nullified.

Chuckiee-
I replied to this question on your other thread. YES - all of the smaller axies will eventually get eaten!
