Axolotls are Illegal in BC, if you are in possesion of one you are in danger of a minimum file $1200 and removal of your axolotls. ALL information found on them about getting a permit is WRONG.... they NO LONGER hand out private or commercial permits in BC. WE known this personal as Conservation officers arrived at our door less then 12 hours after sending out our renewal application... no fines for use bu we were informed that fines can range from $1200 to $185,000 and we were in the upper range as a commercial breed and seller SO, be warned... they ARE looking for them .
