Deadline to register axolotls in Arkansas approaching
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – The deadline to register ownership of an exotic amphibian known for its smile is approaching in Arkansas.
According to the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, legal possession of axolotls is restricted to ones purchased before May 16, 2024. The deadline to register axolotls with the AGFC is June 30.
To register your axolotl with the AGFC, use this online form created by the commission.
Stipulations to legally own an axolotl in Arkansas include keeping male and female axolotls separate, not selling or breeding axolotls and not transferring ownership of a registered axolotl to another person.
A spokesperson for AGFC said that axolotls are prohibited because they pose a disease risk to the native amphibians in Arkansas.
Wild axolotls are endangered and native to Lake Xochimilco in Mexico.
Besides axolotls, the prohibited captive wildlife species list includes animals like hippos, rhinos and anacondas.
