This beautiful GFP (glow under blue light) Axolotl can occur in any of the previous types of Axolotl giving them an extra flare!

OUR
POLICIES
By ordering an Axolotl through KB Axolotl you agree to all of our Policies and conditions. Please do research before getting an axolotl, because after they are shipped to you there are no refunds or exchanges, unless DOA. They require special conditions, ie: cooler water conditions and a specialized diet. I DO NOT SHIP TO illegal states: California, Maine, New Jersey, and New Mexico, or anywhere outside the continental United States if you place an order and are located in an illegal state no refunds will be given whatsoever.
​I only ship Reptiles Express using FedEx (unless otherwise requested) and the boxes will not go out on weekends due to potential shipping delays. I ensure the postal service is aware of the precious babies in the package by writing live fish on the outside and indicating special instructions when need be. If a package is lost or delayed longer than the expected date the post office is in charge of any losses and you will need to take it up with them yourself.
DOA- (Dead on Arrival) If by slim chance your Axolotl is dead on arrival I will need clear images and videos of the Axolotl(s) from you for confirmation within 2 hours of them being dropped off by the mailing company. Please make sure you are able to be home when the Axolotl is expected to arrive. If anything is delayed after I take them to the post office for shipment that is now in the hands of the post office and I am not liable for any damages or delays they may cause. If the Axolotl is pronounced dead then I will be able to either refund the price of the Axolotl (shipping not included) or ship another Axolotl (depending on stock and case-specific).
I reserve the right to change shipping dates or orders if I believe the Axolotl will be endangered in any way. I do not accept returns, refunds, or underage buyers. All advice given is from my researching and self-experience and I would like to note I am not a veterinarian and you should verify anything someone says with credible sources. I personally like to use http://www.axolotl.org/ or the forums on https://www.caudata.org/?fbclid=IwAR1bs5I5-dXlYL-aOUCrWaj3nwGVkd7BIHYXm5PhP7d9xZm57wzWrY0EXhY if you have any further questions or concerns do not hesitate to reach out to me via FaceBook messenger or email.
