Apparently there are breeders making Axolotls and they only go for a few hundred bucks at most. How is this possible? And how are so many people able to own them as pets if they are very close to extinction?

The axolotls we breed as pets are not the ones going extinct; They aren’t captured wild like Ball Pythons.
Imagine if a certain type of wolf were going extinct. Domestic corgi counts wouldn’t effect those numbers at all.
The reason wild axolotl are going extinct is because they live specificaly, only in 1 lake, found in Mexico City; Lake Xochimilco.
Pair this with habitat loss, and they’re very much in a bad situation.
Anything happens to that lake, and axolotls go bye bye
