Axolotls are an endangered species only found in Lake Xochimilco, Mexico. They are an amphibian that never grows out of the neotonic state. Axolotls have filament-lined gill stalks (which are called rami) that stick out from the back of their necks to help them breathe under water. However, they also do come to the surface for air. They can reach up to 12 inches and can live anywhere from 10-15 years. Axolotls in the USA, however are not endangered and were disperced from labs for the pet trade. Axolotls in the USA are hybrids. They contain tiger salamander DNA which is why we have so many phenotypes available.
Nina’s Axolotl Nursery’s number one dedication is the health of the axolotls in the nursery. This ranges from overall health, genetic lines, daily care, shipping procedures, and so much more.
Nina was great to work with and my little one came in very healthy, well taken care of, and handsome as anything! She also answered any questions I had about care once he arrived. As a first time buyer, my experience with Nina was A+!

I loved that she knows what she is doing, and is there to help me along the way with my axolotls life.If I ever buy more axolotls I would definitely recommend buying them here.

Within the past 4 months or so, I have bought 4 axolotls from Nina. I have bought 1 wild, 1 lucy, 1 mel, and 1 axanthic. They all came in great conditions and alive. I have always received them within week of ordering and all of the babies I have gotten have been extremely sweet! They all eat very well, are very friendly, and love attention. I would recommend buying from Nina if you want a new addition to your family 10/10 !

Nina was super helpful with any questions I had setting up the tank prior to receiving our baby. Our Axolotl was so healthy and active when we got her. Nina continues to help if I have any questions. Highly Recommend!!

I’m so glad I found such a wonderful and knowledgeable breeder who is local! Nina has been so helpful and kind every step of the way! You can tell she cares about each and every one of her axolotls. I have two (so far! lol) healthy babies from her and I love them to bits.
I just love Nina, she is very helpful and very kind. I love my sweet baby (axolotl) that I purchased from her. I decided to purchase my baby from Nina after seeing great reviews about her from JubJubs mom on tiktok and other reviews. I look forward to staying in touch with her hopefully for many years so she can keep track of the baby I got from her. And hopefully I can purchase my baby a friend in the future. Also to note, she made sure my baby was delivered fast and safely.
We r very happy with copper. I get my orders when u tell I'm going to get them. Ur axolotls r very healthy. I will order from u anytime I get a axolotl
I'm very pleased with Nina's selection, I received a beautiful wild axolotl and am very satisfied with my new member to my family, fast shipping and easy transaction to purchase online.
Nina is amazing! I buy all my worms from her which not only come quickly but also the quality of the worms are great! Any time I have any questions she’s quick to get back to me and she’s super nice and helpful! Will continue to get worms from her and when ready a second axolotl!
Where to begin...it was all around a great experience, very easy process and best of all the owner os very nice she helped me surprise my wife for mothersday and answer any and all of my million and one questions. Over all if i could id give 10 stars
10 out of 10 can’t recommend any more to go to Nina! She has walked us through every step from the cycling to bringing our boys home! I am so in love with our 2 boys! We have a dark gilled Lucy and a dark Mel Dale and Brennan and we just got them a bigger tank and are coming back to buy more!!! Don’t wait get your lotls NOW from Nina!!!
We did SO much research prior to purchasing and couldn’t have been more thrilled with our choice. It’s been home for two and a half weeks and thriving!
Nina's Axolotl Nursery is simply amazing. Communication is exceptional and my axolotl arrived healthy. She shipped as promised. I have ordered from a few others and this was one of the best experiences I've ever had!
Nina helped me with ALL my questions during the purchasing process (I still message her from time to time with questions, she’s always very helpful!) Our sweet axo was carefully packaged for her journey, she was ready to eat upon arrival! She’s been healthy, active and social since we got her! I will be purchasing from Nina again!
I received my Albino axolotol in awesome condition! Couldn't be happier with Nina, she answered all my questions & was always there to answer my calls or messages. He or she is now thriving in its new home! I would recommend Nina for anyone looking for an axolotol. Hands down best customer experience I've had dealing & buying axolotls.
Thanks again Nina! 5 🌟

Axolotls are exotic pets and not many really know the true care needed for these cuties. At the nursery, we will always be available to answer any questions or help you may need. Always feel free to reach out.
