But we survived, didn’t we? That makes it an adventure. If you get killed it’s a tragedy.

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

Eternally conflicted because my instinct is to try to be strong and independent but my biggest fantasy is being totally controlled and taken care of by a dom. 🙃

I love it when I say “thank you sir” in regular day life and the guy stares just a little too long…
