NASC auction is OPEN!!

Drosera prolifera

I admit. It's a hard riddle. :-))

But it's a hard-earned Drosera I guess.

LAST HINT (You're going to hate me) : I can almost guarantee that most people on this forum have never seen a member of this order, and if they have, it was almost certainly in captivity.

Monkey, don't worry, chances are it wont be guessed soon...
 
Good guess... Okay they aren't found in Europe, North America, Australia, or Madagascar, but they ARE found in South America, Africa, and Asia.
 
Gymnophiona?

DING DING DING DING DING!!!!!!

We have a winner! :)

Who wouldn't love that face??

The correct answer is Gymnophiona, or the caecillians. Probably the most underappreciated and least well known order of Herpetile there is.
 
No, I don't want to trade, but I can give you some D. capensis "All Red" plantlets. :)

Really?! You're a saint Limeslide. I'll have to return the favor when the season is more fruitful. :D

I've seen them before, just not in person...It was only a matter of time before I came across it lol.

In person is what I meant, of course.

But yeah, you definitely earned this dew. :D PM me your shipping info.
 
Congrats Monkey!

It's funny...When I first saw this thread caecilians were the first thing that popped into my mind. But then I guess I am sort of an amphibian nerd with my pet axolotl. ;)
