Rubber Eels/Caecilian worms (typhlo. and Potomotyphlus)
 

Hi There,

Anybody out there into these neat critters?

Black rubber eel (typhlonectus) $60
Grey rubber eel (potomotyphlus kaupi) 'RARE' $75

I'll be placing an order in a couple of weeks, so please contact me if you want to get in on it.

Thanks,
Steve

Where are you ordering from? I currently have Anguilla marmorata and wonder if these will make good tank mates. Unfortunately I don't live near you to go in on a order.

!?!
 

We carry those where I work frequently for $16 :bolt01:

Really, do you know they supplier the come from?

why are they in the water? caecilians are an amphibian and as far as I've always known they are terrestrial and burrow in damp soil. I have never hear of an entirely aquatic caecilian.....caecilians also have annulated bodies and those appear to be smooth.

While most caecilians are indeed fossorial, some genera have become aquatic, even giving birth to young with external gills. Typholnectes and Ichthyophis are excellent examples.

interesting, i didnt know that. how often do you order them? and do you only order aquatics?

Where to find
 

My son wants a rubber eel for Xmas. Does your store ship them?
