Caecilian

**MSFixR** · 04-25-2008, 12:40 PM

On a recent trip to our zoo, I toured the Amazing Amphibian display (because it was raining cats and frogs outside and the display was inside). Amoung the frogs and salamanders was a creature which looked like a very large worm, a very large worm which had teeth! It is called a Caecilian. They are native to the tropics and live underground. An interesting fact: the young eat the skin of the mother!

Man if that thing has teeth, means that it's a SNAKE with poison inside the tooth.

HEY Jr...

I have a nice stuff to post here in whatever just for you. Give me a little time to look for it.
