Anyone keep caecilians?

I've been interested in these guys for a few years but I've never seen them for sale here in Canada.

No. They die too quick

They crop up occasionally. A Mexican species was sold in Canada some years back (a friend of mine has a group of them) and more recently I believe it was an African species that was imported into the US. From what my friend says the Mexican species is quite easy to care for, and when I've visited zoos with them it doesn't seem like they require too much in way of specialization, even for aquatic species.

Thanks,

I'll have to ask around and see if anyone has been able to breed them.
