Another Well-Spent Day...

What happened yesterday? Well work as usual, then went fishing with a dipnet in Lubuk Semilang. Saw 2 soft-shelled turtles there... Danial caught some Betta sp. and 2 Tengas and some Giant danios. It was raining. We had fun. Then went to the night market in dripping wet clothes to get some dinner.

Miss CT Hanim dropped by. Then we all went out. Guess where? Dipnet-fishing at Durian Perangin at 12++am. Huhu...

Apart from some torrential shrimps and Giant Danios, I caught something that looked like a big worm/ small snake, it's grey-ish on top, light belly with yellow line along its' side.

A little surfing revealed that it looked like a Common Yellowband Caecilian.

In case you don't know what's a Caecillian, it is type of amphibian that looks like big rubbery worm/small snake. Amphibian! Related to frogs and toads and newts and salamander...

The one that I caught is about 4+ inches and I noticed there are 2 gill openings and the tail is slightly flatted to the sides the cross-section looks like this () instead of uniform ( ).

Anybody got any idea what can this mystery animal be?

Anyway... PIX!
