CITIES information

I am starting an axolotl breeding colony in the western US.The local pet stores I am dealing with has been told that axolotls are illegal in America and I was wondering if anyone can direct me to a web site that has CITIES info on it.

As long as you are not exporting them, there is no problem. They are perfectly legal to have and sell.I think they are listed on CITES(check the site), but that only pertains to international trade. CITES listed animals can be exchanged all over within the USA, as long as they are not on the ESA list.
