Here are my 3 axies who I have had for about 6 weeks now. They eat like pigs tonight they ate three 6 inch worms tonight. In the 6 weeks I have had them they have doubled in thickness and grown an inch to an inch and a half. It is hard to believe how fast they grown. The tank picture will be completely different come next week. I just ordered driftwood and a ton of new plants to add to the tank to make it look different.

They definitely look happy. How big are they?

They are 5- 5.5 inches each. They have grown a ton both length and width since I have gotten them.

Very cute, I'm just wondering what substrate is that? Looks very interesting :)

It is black and white sand mixed together, I sifted through both sands and washed them about 3 times before adding them but I had extra sand and decided to give it a shot adding both. The only thing I hate is that it unfortunately is hard to see things that collect on the bottom being so dark.
 
It does look nice though, almost like the stuff that you see on the bottom of indoor playgrounds.

Thanks. I grow more fond of it, the only thing I don't like is the hard ability to see waste on the bottom but the starter cycle I used has done an amazing job and once I have shrimp that should help!

    Hey everyone, just want a little advice. Its 55 - 60 celcius in my Salamanders tank. Hes curled up and tyring ti bury himself, Im assuming hes too cold. I was wondering if he would benefit from a heated rock cave (since he LOVES his cave) that I could set on low? I NEVER see him curled up and trying to bury himself unless his tank sits at 63 degrees celcius or lower. So I am assuming hes a little uncomfortable.

    He also seems a little sluggish, again, assuming hes cold. Having heating trouble with the new house right now. What do we think? Was thinking of grabbing this for him since its got very low, medium, and higher medium heat settings that exude heat downward inside the rock cave but ALSO exudes it UPWARDS outside of the rock cave, effectively keeping the tank itself a little warm. Seems like it miiiight be a little small for him though, my guy is about 7 inches from tip of his nose tothe tip of his tail. What do we think? https://www.amazon.com/Reptile-Simulation-Adjustable-Temperature-Tortoise/dp/B0CH1DPGBC
