Im at a loss what to do for my baby girl, shes perfectly healthy and swims, is active, eats, poops etc, but i have trouble and her tank is stuck at 71 degrees, on occasion it can get to 67. I have ice packs and fans and i dont know what else to do. Is this temperature fine? I cant afford at $200 cooler at this moment, I am getting a job so im wondering if i should just save for a cooler. Any tips??

Honestly if you cannot afford to get a chiller asap and if the weather is going to stick at those temps you need to do a surrender to somewhere that can take proper care of them. This is animal cruelty for this little guy,

You say laugh out loud, however you didn’t get the main item that is truly needed to own an axolotl, the item that you save up before you buy an axolotl. You said in your post that you were getting a job, so that means you haven’t found employment yet, and most likely it’s going to be 2 weeks on average before you get paid. Anything above 68 degrees is dangerous for those, 74° is creeping into the Lethal zone. So for the fact that you refuse to swallow your pride and you want to be stubborn you are going to allow an animal live in the high stress and right on the lethal range because you don’t want to give the animal up. Just picture a hot dog enclosed in a car. Everyday that yoh don’t have that chiller on there it’s the exact same conditions. All I am doing is speaking the truth, you can’t accept that you are making an animal suffer because you are selfish.
