I found a insect that looks kinda like an under water centipede. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? Its bout three inches long and has pincers on one end i think its his head. And it moves around alot and fast.
 
I found several creatures similar to that discription here in Southern California. I would like to know what they are too.
 
Re:

Yea it looks crazy but I wonder if my tiger could eat it?
 
Could you post a picture? Perhaps someone on this site would know if it were a safe insect for a Tiger Sal to eat.
 
Re:

Well I dont have a way to post a pic, but it looks just like an underwater centipede thats about the best description i can provide.
 
I wouldnt trust a wild creature (espeially with large mandables) with my salamanders. It may have some kind of parasites. I've never heard of them being fed to anything, so I wouldnt even risk it.
 
there is another post here posted after yous about hellgrammite it contains a pic i would take a look

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
