About Rocky Mountain Axolotls
About us
RMA is a small business run by myself, my name is Heather and I am a Colorado Native, hence my selection of Business name! I started off in the aquarist hobby in 2015 and began my axolotl journey in 2018. I have been breeding axolotls since 2021. The business has scaled down from a small business to a hobby for me. Raising healthy axolotls with fluffy gills is my specialty. Prices on animals vary depending on age, morph and variations
I am located in southern Colorado Springs, CO. I do not have a storefront and no longer have an online store, I now screen all potential adopters to ensure the sale is a good fit for both the customer as well as the animal, so if you are interested in purchasing one please send me a direct message.
I ship to all legal states (except Alaska and Hawaii) and offer local pickup on my days off from my full time job. I no longer offer an online store as I no longer sell my axolotls to be used for breeding, I want them to be beloved pets and live a good and happy life. This is not due to genetic issues, it is due to the mass overbreeding of the species and my personal beliefs on ethics. If you are looking for an animal for breeding please reach out and I am happy to recommend some reputable breeders who I know.
Axolotls are sensitive creatures and have specific care requirements, thorough research and preparation is a MUST before purchasing one to ensure it thrives in its new home. Please review our resources such as care sheets and cycling information prior to reaching out to us. These guides can be found on the website under ‘Downloadable files’ or you can join my private Facebook group ‘Rocky Mountain Axolotls - Customers and Friends’ they are in there under files. This is also a great place to ask care and cycling questions as there are other breeders and myself who can promptly answer you.
