My coworkers and I recently purchased a caecilian for the herpetology professor we work for. It is a terrestrial caecilian (I believe it is one of the mexican burrowing caecilians). We were wondering what the best substrate/terrarium setup would be. We're basing a lot on the Detroit Zoo setup, but they simply keep thiers in dirt-filled buckets at room temperature. Any suggestions?
