Amphiuma. We have two species here, the two-toed amphiuma, and the three-toed amphiuma. Many people call them freshwater eels. I know crawfish farmers hate em, always in the ponds. First time I saw them was after hurricane Ike. We had a bunch of them in the yard when the storm water rose. Since then, I've seen them sporadically. Caught a 3 footer out of our ditch once, froze it for my Zoology class. Nastiest thing I've ever had to preserve. Very slimy critters.

Also, I've heard they have got a mean bite for a salamander.

Mud dog????

Dey nasty, dont want no part of handling one.
|
Used to see em in coolys/gullys when I was a kid. Caught a few. Used to walk the ones behind my grandma's house all the time and catch whatever moved armed with my trust dipnet: minnows, frogs, crawfish, snakes, eels, tadpoles. Those were the days.

Mud puppies

Mud puppies. They eat good too
|
When it floods the ditches you can spot them easy with a light. See them frogging with the kids all the time going around neighborhood. They have little sharp teeth by the way. Watch the fingers
|
Used to call them "Lan-pedes", or something like that...
