I though i should share a few pitctures on a tiger laying directly under the LED moonlight, i think its kind a cool that they chose the absolut brightest spot in the enclosure. Some month ago the largest one did the same thing, it stayed directly under for about 10-15minutes, and the light was even brighter back then. They show them self both day and night, not giving me a boring minute which i am grateful for.

Great photos. You are very lucky to have such outgoing animals.
Judging from the second picture it was full moon..? :lol:

woooow... your light is soo beautiful, nearly similar to the real moon light.... i love it.... :D

I agree, it looks pretty cool..Usually i paint LED spots with acrylic, but here i have only cut out a piece from a purple plastic bag and fasten it with a little tape.

These also works if you dont use moonlight every night (Battery) but are pretty cheap and gives absolutly no heat at all. All you need to do is paint, or tape a soft plastic piece on it:)

    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?
