We are very lucky to get second litter of Typhlonectes natans this autumn. Last year 3 babies were born and this year we got 5 more. So we have a group of 12 amphibians by now.
And a month ago 4 babies T.compressicauda were successfully delivered from Germany to Moscow.
A group of adults have been also kept and successfully bred in Moscow Zoo for several years.
Hope we can keep these animals.

Beautiful creatures! Congratulations!
I very much hope to keep T.natans in the future (far away future i´m afraid), they are trully fascinating. Any shots of the newborns with the humongous gills still attached? They are one of the weirdest things i´ve seen xD
Congratulations again, it´s lovely to see caecilians being bred in captivity more and more.
