Hello,
I got my first Tiger on Friday! I was so excited I have never seen one for sale around here. I named him/her Tony after a) Tony the Tiger (Frosted Flakes Mascot) b) Tony Dinozzo (NCIS FANS!) c) Tony Stark (Ironman Anyone?) So anyway, I currently have him in a 10 gal he isn't very long 5-6 inches i'd guess. I have a 20Gal Long that I am going to convert into a viv for him/her. I want to have a small waterfall or pond in the viv just for looks. I know he doesn't need it, but I've always wanted to make one and all my reptiles are desert animals. I just wanted to see some setups, and possibly how to make them. Any websites that offer how to guides would be awesome to.
Thanks everyone!

A couple of places to view photos of setups:

Are you willing to use stuff from outdoors, or prefer to use pet shop supplies? The biggest decision is probably what substrate to use.

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
