Just changed my Tiger Sal’s tank. Here it is! I’m open for criticism and compliments! The left 1/2 is moist and clumps when squeezed, the right 1/2 is slightly dryer and doesn’t clump but is still saturated. Size is 24x18x12 with 4 inches of topsoil mixed with coco-fiber.

Yeah, when I set it up I had the same thought. Used to have a flat cork bark but it was ruined by mold. So I had to use what was in my arsenel at the time. Next time I hit the pet shop I’m definitely picking some up!

Looks like a great setup! How do you feed your tiger? So many places to hide. D0 you leave food at a specific area or let it roam around?

I used to Hand feed nightcrawlers, but recently I’ve switched to setting the worm on a food dish and letting him hunt it on his own. This way I can monitor what he eats and still have him hunt. I’m recently decided to start growing Isopods as another feeder. Thx to @Herpin Man!

Planning on going BioActive in the future with live plants springtails etc. The process is expensive so I’ve not gotten to it yet!

    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?
