Hey
here's my little critter, i'm not sure it's a he or a she yet...

anyway it's adorable, it's left gills are missing (i guess bitten off by a mate in the petshop) and it's left arm was also missing but it regrew.

it grew a lot in the 5 months i had it, it's about 17 cm now and looooving the earthworms i am feeding it

He looks goofy! I am glad you gave him a good home he sounds special! how does he enjoy his new tank?

i think he's liking his new home!!

i am still trying to find either aquarium sand or very very small gravel, but i guess it's not common here because i couldn't find in any petshop or aquarium :-/

now since he's eating earthworms, when i walk past the tank he gets very exited, i get close to the tank and he swims towards me, and if i show him an earthworm he goes crazy!!

its a funny little one

He is very cute with that little odd gill. I'm so glad he found a good home! I love it once they get to know their owners! One of mine will come all the way to the surface and "nibble" my finger.

As for your sand, look for quartz sand and avoid sand that contains calcium carbonate or salt water - like marine sand. Here's the article: Caudata Culture Articles - Aquarium Substrates
