You´ve definitely come to the right place! You´ll find more quality info here than anywhere else.

Are you currently keeping any caudates, or animals for that matter?
Oh, and welcome to the forum hehe.

Thank you :D

In the moment I´m keeping some Axolotls, Typhlonectes natans and Geotrypetes seraphini as amphibians. I also keep many fish and insects (mantis, Phasmids,...)

Welcome to the forum. Caecilian enthusiasts are very rare indeed. Have you seen gymnophiona.org ?

Yes, I found gymnophiona.org yesterday, but thank you for the link.
And I realized too, that there are not so many Caecilian enthusiasts as I thougt, I searched 2 years till I found my Geotrypetes seraphini .Other sorts of terraristic Caecilians are more rare :(

I'm always surprised that Caecilians aren't more popular in the trade. I bought one from a petstore ~1991 (unfortunately, he's recently departed), and I can honestly say that, since then, I've never seen one for sale in a store (although I've seen them listed for sale online). Are they more popular in the pet trade in Germany?

In genaral are terraristic caecilans in Germany very rare. You can´t find them in pet shops, only in some internet pet shops. And when there are any terraristic caecilans in a shop they are very expensive...:( But Typhlonectes natans is a common species of caecilians here. You can find it regular in a few pet shops.
