    As do I. I think the reason I like them so much is because they are so unusual physiologically and anatomically. Same with frogs. I like some species of frogs that have bright coloration like the Ranitomeya dart frog species, but the frogs I really like are ones like Pipa pipa that are very unique and unusual in their appearance and behavior. Caecilians just take it up a notch to a whole new level. Like some of their parental behavior, such as the female secreting a special layer on the skin and lining of the uterus for the developing juveniles to feed on in live-bearing species! Simply amazing!!

    Thank you Pez, and everyone else, for your kind words. Did you have any luck finding caecilians on your Grandpa's property?

    No, I didn't. I tried cheking every moist area, dead trunk, rocks, everything, but had no luck.


    Hope you can get other caecilian soon!!
