I have always wanted one since I first learned about them like 10 or more years ago. We have one of those reptile/aquatic type shows coming up and I know they will likely have them. It would be my chance to buy one. I am just worried they are too hard to care for. Does anyone here know about them or have experience with keeping them?
Are Axolotl hard to care for?

Main thing is that Axolotl need a very quiet home. So basically with new borns and toddlers, it is difficult to keep.

Axolotls are endangered species and it is indeed a challenge to care for them.

Whenever I hear the word endangered, it says two things. 1)It's very hard to get and 2)It's very hard to maintain. Would suggest others steer out of these endangered varieties. If you really love them and if you can afford professional care and assistance, then you can go for them following all the legal documentation, safety protocols, and regulations.

In the wild, they are but the varieties that you find as pets are not the same. They are actually bred to be kept as pets and from what I have been reading, they are fairly simple to care for but just quite boring I guess. A lot of people seem to lost interest in them.

How can they be boring? They’re so adorable.

My spouse and I have thought about getting a Axolotl at some point. However, since they're endangered I can imagine they can be challenging to take good care of. For now we'll just admire them from afar, I would feel terrible if I couldn't care for one properly.
