heheh - my moms pool get full of them every year - I had no idea these things were pets - LOL

I can`t imagine what anyone would pay for one? I guess its probably better to pay than to steal from mother nature though!

my tiger is in pretty loose deep substrate, so hes burried lots of the time. He prowls around when hes hungry tho. I was thinking of getting some toads but i think ill stick with the reptiles from now on.

LOL well I watched them very close for about 3 hours and they got along good, each one has picked its "burrow" now, so I'm not worried.

I got my Tigers as rescued amphibians, so I have no idea how you would get them. My larger 11" Tiger (Laguna) I got from a friend who found him on a construction site with a broken leg and was all dried out and about to die. The smaller 8" Tiger (Lily) I got from a girl at an aquarium shop that had a lady give it to her when all the floods happened in Edmonton. The lady fouind it in her basement and brought it to the shop. The girl just didn't want it anymore so I took it. Got the Faunarium for free that Lily was in, so I have put it with my other Faunarium for free as a bonus. As you can see by the link I am providing below, they are both very healthy now.

If you can't find my Tigers Samurai, here's the link:

As you can see they are both absolute pigs LOL I've slowed their food supply a little for this time of the year.

I've started working on my lagoon for the new tank. I'm using styrofoam and cutting it to shape, then coated it with aquarium silicone and then poured some exo-terra sand on it and dumped off excess. Looks like it should work, but I have to wait at least 2 or 3 days for the top layer to dry and then I can test it and see if it will be water proof. Then I have to coat each side and bottom with the silicon to seal the entire foam off. I made a hole for the fogger I bought too, so I can't wait to get it all finished and give it a try. I bought a few long grass-like silk plants for the tank also. Now if they would get on building my tank I would be fine LOL

They are both beasts, IMO i would watch their weight because obesity is a big problem with them because they will eat and eat and eat. Yours are looking a little chubby you might be cutting their lifespan down with the extra weight. I know how hard it is to stop feeding them when they always seem like they are hungry. just a thought, otherwise they look great. post pics when you get their display set up sounds like its going to be amazing

[TLH_Wär§cöötmän]

LOL yea I know thats why they are on a diet right now LOL The new tank will give them lots to roam around in, so it should be good..I think I am going to call and harass the tank guys about my tank after I finish this post LOL Funny thing is I rarely give them waxworms or anything. mostly crickets. Which reminds me I want to get them some worms of some kind as a treat instead of crickets this week.

I'll post a few pics of the lagoon as soon as its done. and one of it with fogger on too the fogger is so cool LOL but you need at least a 2" deep water dish/bowl. I might setup the fogger in a container with screen ontop till I get the new tank.

[samurai]

that will look awesome post a pic for sure, im just feeding my guy a goldfish right now. he should be happy

[TLH_Wär§cöötmän]

haha I am making the container with screen cover and putting it in tank once its done LOL I think I need help!! I really do everything far too overboard LOL

[samurai]

your gecko setups look awesome, makes me want some. those hides up in the air look soo cool. im going home from college for reading week and leaving my tiger so ive got to fatten him up before i go, he shoudl be fine for a week

[TLH_Wär§cöötmän]

COOOOOL!!! I am going to post a pic of the fogger then you can see the new plants I bought too.
