No, axolotls cannot live for 100 years. A normal axolotl lifespan is about 10 to 15 years, especially in good care.
Some axolotls may live a little longer than that, but 100 years is not realistic. The myth probably comes from their strange biology. Axolotls can regrow body parts, keep their baby like features as adults, and look almost unchanged for much of their life. That makes people think they might live far longer than they actually do.
Good care matters a lot. An axolotl with clean cold water, the right food, low stress, and a safe tank has a much better chance of reaching old age. Poor water quality, warm temperatures, tank mates, and injuries can shorten its life quickly.

Wild axolotls usually face even more danger. Their natural home is very limited, and pollution, habitat loss, predators, and human activity make survival harder.
