thanks

Hi there:

Go on caecilian.org on the message boards. Sure, its mostly about the aquatic species, but there are some terrestrial keepers lurking in the shadows. Ask them if they are willing to sell you a terrestrial species. I obtained a pair of Dermophis, one of which I still own, from a local exotic animal outlet, but I doubt that I will ever see any in pet stores again, besides the aquatic species.

If you are seeing the aquatic species in the stores they were illegally imported and are illegal to purchase/possess.
Check with Mark Lucas and Glades Herp for terrestrial species. They occasionally have a specimen or two available that is not on the list.
