You aren’t suppose to touch axolotls, it could damage their slime coat, which’ll make it more prone to various infections

It would be best not to touch it in general unless it’s absolutely necessary (if it needs to go to the vet for a health issue) as to not damage it’s coat

Now, every time I see an axolotl, I’m reminded of the heirloom barrel of lube from Bojack Horseman.

Still, it’s got the cutest little smiley face.

First of all, your Axolotl is definitely a very cute one.

Secondly, Thank you for educating me that axolotls are like any other animals that love pats🥰...and the way the axolotl responded to the pats are simply ridiculously cute🥰

If your hands are clean (free of perfumes and chemicals) and wet it's no big deal honestly; the slime coat isn't that delicate.

In fact it's actually preferable to transport fish and other aquatic creatures by hand rather than using a net. For smaller fish the net has to be used but bigger fish and axolotls can be picked up.
