Well, since i cant answer your pm (it wont let me) that was actually mine lol. I dropped it off a few days before you posted this, yes it was a caecilian eel. I got him when he was a foot long and gave it to them when he was 2 feet long and at least an 1.5" thick. Do not get one though, they are a pain in the butt and will try to escape if given the chance!
