Amphibiuary Day 5: Caecilian

Featuring a ringed caecilian because it's blue and I like it :) This is one of two caecilians featured in another book I have (Nature Guide: Snakes and other Reptiles and Amphibians. I have no idea why snakes are the main characters of the book but good for them) and so today I learnt that they feed their babies by basically swelling up and then letting the babies eat their flesh with special teeth that drop out later. That is certainly one way to do it!!
