You have introduced me to caecilians and oh my god what a creature

You're Welcome.

Two-colored Caecilian (Epicrionops bicolor), family Rhinatrematidae, found in disjunct populations in Ecuador, Peru, and Colombia

Caecilians are amphibians, like salamanders and frogs.

They are not worms, nor are they snakes.

Ringed Caecilian (Siphonops annulatus), family Siphonopidae, found in tropical South America, east of the Andes

The young go through the larval stage in the eggs, and hatch out as fully formed tiny caecilians.

The young of this species feed on their mother’s outer skin layer (which she sheds), which has a high nutrient content.

Like many caecilians, their skin exudes a thick slime, which aids in burrowing, but also has toxic components (presumably to protect from predation).

Fisher’s Caecilian (Boulengerula fischeri), family Herpelidae, Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda

Rubber Eel Caecilian (Typhlonectes natans), family Typhlonectidae, found in Colombia and Venezuela

Aquatic

Banded Caecilian (Scolecomorphus vittatus), family Scolecomorphidae, Tanzania

These strange caecilians can move their little eyes in down into and even out of their skulls (at the base of these tentacles on the head). Its not well understood why.

Eiselt’s Caecilian aka “Penis Snake” Caecilian (Atretochoana eiselti), family Typhlonectidae, found in Brazil

Lungless, gas exchange occurs in the epidermis.

It is thought to be aquatic.

Only known from 9 specimens.

Little is known about their natural history.

Banna Caecilian (Ichthyophis bannanicus), family Ichthyophiidae, Zhaoqing, China

Some herpetologists consider this species as a population of the Koh Tao Island Caecilian (Ichthyophis kohtaoensis).

I accidentally ate moldy finely grated Parmesan cheese in my spaghetti and I woke up to the most horrendous stomach ache ever

like I'm talking toe curling waves of agony and I even vomited a little bit

three 'please draw my bike as a horse' commissions! breed choices and tack under cut:

The first one is a workhorse commute bike that is dependable, can carry a lot, and has been with owner for a very long time. I thought a carriage horse would be suitable specifically:

I had in mind a large draft breed - specifically the Drum Horse - for being large, sturdy, gentle, and very even-tempered. While a 'drum horse' is not a specific recognized breed like Shire horses, Shires are not allowed to have white markings like roan or piebald. So, Drum Horses are Shires crossbred with Vanner Cobs and Clyesdales to create any coat and marking possibility while retaining the Shire's distinctive leg feathering.

The owner of the mountain bike wanted an Andalusian, Mustang, or Lusitano with western tack and some leg protection. My concept was a red chestnut Mustang with saddlebags and protectors on the front knees.

The last one is a 'little three speed with pedal brakes like a kid's bike'. I picked a Welsh pony for her.

I do think this bike is still too big to be a Shetland! This is a Welsh Mountain Cob, and they're hardy and have excellent temperaments. They're good for lesson horses and children's show ponies. This one has a simple classical riding saddle and saddle blanket on.
