Hi, I have been searching this site for a couple of months now for various info and have found it to be most helpful. Now I am a member I thought I should post something.
I first started using this site when I salvaged some smooth newt eggs from my garden pond (would probably have been eaten by the fish) anyway I raised them until they morphed 12 of them in total. By this time I had grown quite attached to the little fellas, would sit for ages just watching them tucking into black/green flies aphids etc, spiders and caterpillars, so this triggered my interest in newts etc and decided after much research, mainly from here, to get some Tigers, I liked the look of their faces. I set to work designing an enclosure to fit on my desk, will post some pictures when I get round to it.
Got Tigers 2 weeks ago, 2 of them Boo and Goomba, sub adults, they are settling in well and I am amazed at how different their personalities are, Boo is very cheeky looking, loves his pool and has a good appetite and often comes out during the day. Goomba is a bit shy but still equally cute, doesn't seem overly keen on worms, definately prefers things that move more, moths, spiders, crickets.
That's it for now.
