Any fully aquatic snakes, lizards, and amphibians?

Elephant Trunk Snakes are horrid for surviving in captivity... better off with a Tentacled.

I dint know that The very few people I know that have been able to get one dint have much trobble keeping them alive. But again all the stuff and factors: capture method, transport, health condicion of the animal, experience of the keeper,etc For tentacleds I ironicly dont know a single person that has been able to find one here, so I have absolutley no referenceHow much they sell for?

The only problem is... with the Elephant Trunk... they all have different method of keeping them alive. Zoos have tried copying the husbandry of the successful ones and failed. Why? If you look at the successful ones, the environment is COMPLETELY different in each one (pH level, salinity, temperature et cetera) and once those factors change, the snake end up dying. The sad thing is... with Elephant Trunk, it just a matter of luck getting a snake from the a region that match your water parameter.

Thanks for the extra info They are really interesting in a weird kind of way. Also the true matamatas of the snake kingdom

Just wondering what other fully aquatic Freshwater snakes, lizards, and amphibians there are. I only know of the Tentacle snake. Since I have aquariums, maybe I can start one up for something other than fish.
Anyone?

Isn't the definition of amphibian "able to live in water and on land"

Some aquatic turtles (snappers and painteds) are pretty close to fully aquatic and awesome pets.

Both specialy the painted still need a large bascking area and a egglaying area for females

painteds love to bask, so much so that around here some people call them sun turtles
