hey fishboy! Long time, no see.
From what I understand, axolotls are kind of a rare find, so it may be difficult to get one through an LFS. Doesn't hurt to ask I suppose, but I've seen a few online places selling them. Unfortunately, I think most only sold them for research purposes. Can't quite recall.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
