LITTLE ROCK — The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission has opened a window for owners of Axolotls, a species of exotic salamander native to Mexico, to register these pets they may have acquired.

Although possession of this species was never technically allowed in Arkansas, the aquatic salamander was officially placed on the AGFC’s Prohibited Captive Wildlife Species list on May 16, 2024. The AGFC is allowing anyone who obtained their Axolotl prior to that date to register it through the AGFC’s Captive Wildlife Program so they may keep it for the life of the pet. No more axolotls may be obtained. kAmpvur r2AE:G6 (:=5=:76 !C@8C2> r@@C5:?2E@C pD9=6J vC:>D=6J\!25C@?
