Calling all caecilian keepers!

[tgampper]

I agree caecilians are awesome amphibians. I hope you can reserve one for later in the year.

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!!

No! I am sorry about your caecilian and hope you can get other soon.

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

[pez]

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!!
