Congrats!
Wait for your female to stop laying, and then carefully put the eggs into a separate container (you don't HAVE to, but it's a good way to keep the eggs safe, plus it's easy to monitor them).
Don't be afraid to touch the eggs a little bit. They're surprisingly sturdy, and you'll need to touch them/the gel they're in to get them off of your plants and tank ornaments (again, you don't HAVE to remove them from the objects they're lain on, but it's probably going to make keeping them easier)
If you're going to sell any eggs, line up buyers NOW. I had buyers ready for my eggs, but just before I could ship, they hatched! Early! Then I was stuck with 100+ hatchlings, when I've never kept eggs before. That was a fun learning experience.
I suggest waiting until you see signs of development, then pick 15-50 eggs to keep for yourself, and sell or otherwise dispose of the rest.
Also, order brine shrimp eggs NOW. (
these are the kind I bought) Axolotls will always surprise you if you give them the chance. Since mine hatched early, I was blind-sided about have food ready. Order the eggs (de-capsulated, for hatching) and have your set up ready to go. When babies hatch, they have about a 1-2 day's supply of yolk, which is the perfect hatching time for brine shrimp! As soon as you see hatchlings, start brewing your brine shrimp.
Here's a tutorial, and your eggs might also come with additional instructions. Keep the brine shrimp warm; they hatch better.
If you don't have a turkey baster yet, GET TWO. Also stock up on large coffee filters, plastic tubs, and soda bottles. Turkey basters are great for feeding, and also for removing waste. You'll need all of these things.
Conventional wisdom says to do daily water changes and feed daily. Perhaps it's the dosage that I feed mine in, but whenever I tried feeding daily, the babies didn't eat as well, like they were still too full on the previous day's feed, and I found that a lot of food was wasted. So try conventional wisdom first, but don't be afraid to listen to your axolotls to see what works best with them. As long as they're developing well, you've got to be doing something right.
Having eggs is scary but also REALLY exciting, and it seems like a lot of work at first, but after a few weeks your really get used to it.
I hope all this helps, and let us know if you have anymore questions!
