    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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.
 
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?
