A better framed claim would be more of a statement rather than a question. Such as: "Axolotls can be kept as pets legally (you can provide a location to be more specific)."

It is illegal to own an axolotl in some places including California, Maine, New Jersey, and Virginia. In New Mexico, it depends on the exact location. To get more specific information, I recommend looking at more exotic pet laws in your specific location.

It depends on the state of residency. They are legal to own in most states, with a permit in New Mexico and Hawaii, and illegal in California, Maine, New Jersey, and D.C.
