This year I am going to try to breed my tigers indoors. My garage has a dirt floor and the temps do not get to freezing in there. I have placed a 4 foot "kiddie" pool in there and am going to create an "indoor pond". I will post info in the spring.

Sounds like a good idea with decent potential. I've inquired about breeding them in similar captive conditions in outdoor enclosures with an artificial water body, but I've never taken the time to construct one.
 
Not much is needed to breed them outdoors. We use very small ponds and the hardest part is keeping out predators. Ponds as small as 3 foot across will work. Then the larvae need to be placed into rearing bins.
 
What if your tigers complete metamorphosis in the meantime?
 
Any update on this?

    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
