Here's the pictures Lewy took at Chester zoo of the T.natans aquatic Caecilians.

The pics aren't great because they were so fast. really cool creatures though.

They are massive really. Probably about as long as a yearling corn, but twice as thick

I think they are called Rubber eels in the pet trade Kehhlyr

Now I quite like the look of those... still not sure I would have one as a pet though!!
If I had a brain, I'd be dangerous......

I think if I had a Caecilian I would go for the burrowing type rather than the aquatic ones.
