Does anyone know where I can find a T. compressicauda. Or any other Typhlonectes?

 

[Fabio's Dad]

not including the natans

As in aquatic caecillians? They sell them in pet stores all the time. Is there a local herptile show coming up? Sometimes I see them for sale around here when there is a show.

 

[Fabio's Dad]

It's hard to find anything but natans around here. It's hard to even find someone who knows the difference.

 

[Fabio's Dad]

right now, I have a natans. I can't wait until she throws the youngins she's got cookin'

 

[davo]

thats good, get some pictures up. Would an LFS not be able to order anything in, or maybe the community vendors on here?

 

[Fabio's Dad]

I'm trying to find which venders deal with them.

may i ask what is that thing? its look like a black earth worm

is it a legless amphilbian?

 

[davo]

is it a legless amphilbian?

basically yes. They give birth to live young that have external gills, that they eventually loose. They are aquatic caecilians or rubber eels.

I think it's the compressicauda that's the only one born without lungs.
