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!!

small casual reminder : The Doppelganger in its original and true form is most biologically related to a caecilian .

Also it generally bothers me how animals must be human like in order to garner affection from most people, it's such a joke that people believe in ”speciesm" the oppression of animals because they are different from us, yet many of these same people try to paint x or y animal as valuable by comparing it to people or pointing out a trait of it that's similar to humans. Like it's beautiful how loving whale moms are to their calves like humans, yes, but is that why we should care about them? shouldn't we also care about them if they weren't loving moms? aren't they still valuable to the world even if they cannibalized their children? or do you only care about other living creatures if they are like us?

What about parasites? bloodsucking ticks? wasps that lay their eggs in dead spiders they've paralyzed, rat mothers that eat half their newborns? newborn caecillians that eat their mother's delicious skin? the earthworm that has no sense of morality, altruism, or parental love? aren't they worthy too? do they have to be like us to be loved?

#t #SARRY. aras and the surrounding mindsets about animals GET to me.

Day 5 - Caecillian

#amphibiuary2023 #art #my art #caecilian

[newtsfrogstoads]

Hi friend,

What’s a caecilian?

I know I could Google it but I feel like we’d all get more joy out of my asking you.

Happy to answer! Imagine a worm and a snake made sweet squirmy love and had a child. That's basically what a caecilian is:

From the worm parent, they inherited blindness and a segmented body, as a well as a knack for diving into the mud and shallow water.

From the snake parent, they inherited a bullet-shaped snout, a left lung smaller than their right lung, and a penchant for eating bugs, slugs, snails, and worms (this makes family dinners very awkward).

Caecilians also tend to swim like eels and have chemosensory tentacles near the front of their heads like hagfish. It's possible that the worm and the snake wanted to spice things up in the bedroom and invited some of their other legless friends, but scientists have yet to prove this (cowards).

In terms of looks, Caecilians tend to appear very derpy from the side:

When viewed head-on though, they tend to resemble people who were asked to smile at a camera but didn't have enough time to mentally or physically prepare:

Finally, while there are many poisonous amphibians in the world, there are very few that are venomous (exceptions include tree frogs that inject venom via headbutting with skull spikes, and newts that ram their own ribs through their coated skin to make toxic spikes).

The Brazilian Ringed Caecilian seems to have venomous glands that coat their teeth to deliver a deadly bite like that of a gila monster, but scientists are still studying this. Regardless, don't get bit by one cause some caecillians really look like the chestburster from Alien:

Other cool caecilian facts:

Different species can be as small as 8.9cm (3.5in) to as large as 1.5m (5 ft) but caecilians know that size doesn't matter anyway

Caecilians are one of the three groups that make up all amphibians - the other two being frogs and salamanders

Baby Ringed Caecilians have 44 spoon-shaped teeth and will eat their mom's outer layer of skin for several minutes then take a break for a few days to allow their mom's skin to regrow before chowing down on it again yum yum

Completely random thought entered my head when you replied to a prev ask with "He's like if a worm was a parasitic wasp...".

Funnily enough here's another worm that is not a worm called a caecillian. it's not a mollusc, insect, snake or legless lizard. It's an amphibian of all things.

oh and certain species do something called maternal dermatophagy which is the mother feeding their babies their own skin :)

do what you will with this knowledge

OHH I HAD TO LOOK THESE BAD BOYS UP BUT MAN THATS THE CREATURE OF ALL TIME HUH... im actually incredibly obsessed with how close they are in colour to what @/corvidaearts and i settled on for your average Watcher. That is a little dude right there and i love him and his funky amphibian face :]

Picture below the cut if anyone wants to see it!!!

Amphibiuary Day 26: Honorary

Much like caecillians, slow worms are compared to worms (they are little snakes!) They also have an amphibi-esque slippery look to them, if that makes any sort of sense
