AW: Terrestrial Caecilians

Hi,

I´m keeping terrestrial caecilians (Geotrypetes seraphini) for a year now. Nice animals :D

What do you want to know over these animals?

Greeting from Germany

Terrestrial Caecilian

Hi Hi Hi

ive had some of these guys before and they are interesting. We (science) knows almost nothing about them but that there are 100's of species that vary in size, color, habitats? makes them more appealling i think

i dont have pictures but my setups were long, wide and short. nothing in them but peat moss, mixed with some more dense chippings, rocks that were positioned to make cave-like dwellings possible. The experience i got from them most was learning different type of ground cover. java moss, baby tears, Suzi Wong, Selaginella kraussiana, riccia and even lawn grass. The nice part of the ground cover was how it kept them from tracking dirt along the sides of the tank and helps absorb their outputs. the downside is you need lights and timers. :(. i hope this helps a little bit.

also watch their bites. it only happened once but it was definately sharp.

I wasn't even aware these existed as a terrestrial aniamal. I'm indeed very very interested in these strange creatures as well.

    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?
