The axolotl is egg-laying amphibians. The male and female court, resulting in the male depositing his sperm sacks (known as his spermatophore) on a flat textured surface. The female then collects the spermatophore, this whole process could take anywhere between an hour or two.

Will axolotls breed on their own?

In my experience, by keeping axolotls in a room that receives at least partial seasonal change in temperature and light period (if there is a window in the room), breeding will occur naturally, usually at least once before the peak of winter and once in the spring, if the animals are adequately fed.

Can male axolotls get pregnant?

Male axolotls, on the other hand, can be allowed to breed sooner than females since they usually reach sexual maturity a bit earlier, usually by a few months.
