Ummm...Axolotl have been banned for a while now. It says it quite clearly in the NJ pet shop application form from Fish and Wildlife: http://www.nj.gov/dep/fgw/pdf/xotic_petshop_app.pdf

Granted this information on bans of specific species should be available on exotic hobby permit forms as well but that's not the point. According to Fish and Wildlife, they banned the axolotl and other similar amphibians due to fear that they may interbreed with local native species like the eastern tiger salamander.
