Seeking: Typhlonectes Natans | Caecilians | "Rubber Worm / Eel"
Do any of you ever see these 100% aquatic amphibians in your local shops? Typhlonectes Natans or commonly sold as "Rubber Worm / Eel"? Petland had received about 24 of these for each Winnipeg store in December 2003 but they sold out rather quickly!
I had bought two from the Crossroads location on a whim and for the next 18 months they were one of my favourite pets. Sadly, I lost both due to poor practic and leaving open space at the back of the tank where one escaped in March 2005 and the other in November 2005.
They can live with most fish so long as the fish are not the aggressive type, but I wouldn't recommend them with guppies or neons or anything that size.
So, do you guys ever see these locally? There were some good sources in USA via http://www.caecilian.org/ before that site disappeared, and the one guy in Ontario who said he could get these ran into some roadblocks the last time I had placed a deposit for some.
I've put a couple pictures below of the ones I owned. Please let me know if you guys see these in your local shops.
