| Seeking: Typhlonectes Natans | Caecilians | "Rubber Worm / Eel" Do any of you ever see these 100% aquatic amphibians in your local shops? Typhlonectes Natans or commonly sold as "Rubber Worm / Eel"? Petland had received about 24 of these for each Winnipeg store in December 2003 but they sold out rather quickly! I had bought two from the Crossroads location on a whim and for the next 18 months they were one of my favourite pets. Sadly, I lost both due to poor practic and leaving open space at the back of the tank where one escaped in March 2005 and the other in November 2005. ![]() They can live with most fish so long as the fish are not the aggressive type, but I wouldn't recommend them with guppies or neons or anything that size. ![]() So, do you guys ever see these locally? There were some good sources in USA via http://www.caecilian.org/ before that site disappeared, and the one guy in Ontario who said he could get these ran into some roadblocks the last time I had placed a deposit for some. I've put a couple pictures below of the ones I owned. Please let me know if you guys see these in your local shops.

| They look like an Amphiumas. Never seen them for sale, only way Ive heard of people having them is finding them in their habitat in the southern states. Store I work at hasnt had them.

| I have seen those at a zoo once. They are really neat, but they are kind of ugly. I have never seen them at my LFS before. You might be able to special order them from your LFS.

| Keep an eye on the "others" section on aquabid. I see them listed there every now and then. Sometimes the admin will yank them, because he only allows "fish" to be sold on the site. If I see one I'll PM you. |

| I found two specimens today at Fish Gallery (Winnipeg, Manitoba) for $30 CA ($27 US) each. I immediately bought both.
