Sorry Joan, as you may know i have no experience with breeding and didn't think 100% would live if its your first time.

Hey Joan, good news about Axolotls lol. They aren't illegal to be here. They are illegal to ship in and out of the state.
This is according to the fish and wild life association here, boy was I happy to hear that! Pet shops will take them, but they have trouble getting them from local breeders from the lack there of, but secret to tell, most of them get them out of state
so uh... yeaaaahhhh mine are all locals, *wink*

Nathan, this is true. But if you're keeping all well, then barring those with genetic problems, you should have a very high survival rate (the "close to 100%" that I'd stated before).
Jordan, as you have no experience with breeding, how would you be able to make an educated guess on survivalship of larvae?

i would assume that no first time breeder would have close to 100% survival rate Joan.

Well speaking from personal experience I can say following the excellent advice available on this site I achieved 100% survival rate with my cynops orientalis.
With my Pleuros I achieved in the high 90's once I re read the advice. Adequate preparation can give high rewards.

Hahaha! Sorry, I just have to say something that my Dad always says to me -
"Never assume anything because if you do you will make an a** out of u and me"
No offence Jordan - I just thought it was funny!

Joan, you nearly gave me a heart attack, and was wondering what I was going to say to my school, who gives them out freely.
Jordan, I've noticed that a lot of time, you don't seem to actually know what you're saying, and just "assume" the answer. I also noticed that you and i joined at about the same time, and yet you have an insane amount of posts, and are now listed as a "senior member." To me, Senior Member would imply that the person has a lot of experience with axolotl's. I know you mean to help, but sometimes you could actually be giving the wrong information. I guess i'm saying, just be careful of what you say, because you could inadvertantly give incorrect information, which could lead to unfortunate accidents.

Jordan - Also the other thing is that Cynthia, Joan and many others here have had their fair share of experience with Axolotls eggs, and most of them are either living on their own supporting them selves, or have parents who don't mind a few dozen Axolotls around the house.
You're still living at home, right? From a previous post it sounds like you can't wait to see Spermaphores around your tank, but the thing is you haven't gotten your Axolotl yet, you haven't found out how expensive they can be, and you also don't have any experience with eggs or what the budget would be, and since you are still living at home, would your parents have to pay for all of it?
I agree with Amanda, and I am not trying to be mean or harsh, but you sometimes are giving the wrong advise and people have to go in and fix it, or you are repeating information what others have already said which is not necessary. Please don't go and get upset over this, it's nothing personal, just Please just be careful what you say, and if you don't know the information someone is asking for, instead of posting information you are unsure of, let someone else who knows what the answers are handle it.
Cynthia - are there any shops or people you were able to find to take any of the eggs? If you have any left, you could try and donate some of them to local children schools. Children are always in need of some good Axolotl education
I figure when mine come into season at the right age I'll probably do this with a few babies, sell some to pet stores and the rest cull before they develop. I hope that is not for a long time though but I would like to experience it just once lol.

Wait, so now this post is being turned into a hate Jordan post? And amanda, you think just because i have more posts than you im stupid or something? And Rheann, you expect me not to get angry after everybody seems to have something bad to say to me?

This was not a "hate on Jordan post" but rather than continue this here, I have sent you an email jordan.

Rheann - I was unprepared for this batch of eggs so I froze them and I am using them as goldfish food.
Since I moved to Boise I don't really know any one outside of work so I have lost all my networking connections to school teachers who may be interested.
I would like to allow my females to lay eggs once every 18 to 24 months so I will try to make some teacher connections so all the future eggs might not end up as fish food. But I would rather they become fish food as eggs than mistreated as axolotls.

Wow thats quite the email you sent me. Your post seems rather unimportant to this subject, you should have just allowed me to find the email. You don't have to tell me. Especially on this forum.

Cynthia - I have a webpage that I am trying to get up, and there will be a link to this site from it if the site will allow it
I'm going to make business cards too for the site and hopefully people will be re-directed from there to visit www.axolotls.org
There is a pet store here in town too that I am going to make Care sheet for. That is the shop I got Bobo from. They don't seem to be very well educated about Axolotls and they said they were very open to me getting some care sheets up. I also told them on the care sheets I would put a link to this site.
Axolotls are such amazing creatures \clipart
