Caecileans are a variety of amphibian species that are characterised by a legless, ringed body and a nozzled head designed for burrowing. Sizes are diverse, with adults ranging from 3 inches to 5.25 feet in length. They have a pantropical distribution and as such can be found in various African and Asian countrees, as well as throughout the Americas. Some species are oviparous (egg-laying), whilst about half viviparous (live-born).
There diet will typically comprise of a mixture of insects and small invertebrates.
