My new Tiger Salamanders

[tlh_warscootman]

Here are a few new additions to my Tiger Salamanders.

This is Osiris, my Grey Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma Mavortium Diaboli)

and Luna, my Eastern Tiger Salamander (Ambystoma Tigrinum)

This brings my Tigers count to 7 in total. 3 Eastern, 3 Grey and 1 Blotched Tigers

Nice chubby tigers. Very pretty.

Thanks

Luna is actually very slim by my standards LOL I'll post some updates in a while after they settle in and are fed by me for a bit. I just got them tonight, so they are on a better diet/setup than before. I've fed my Tigers some butterworms (only Luna ate them) and they are pigging out on crickets LOL

Butterworms in my collection are a kind of hit and miss. Some inhale them, some refuse them. They're kind of expensive, so I only get them as an occasional treat.

I love Diaboli's like Osiris, looks so nice,

Luna looks like my tigers, very beutiful too

Yea Butters are hit and miss alot, I have about 2 or 3 of the Tigers eat them. My Leopard geckos are no different. I have 22 and only about 5 or 6 will eat them. They are not very expensive either, I pay $.30 (canadian) per butter if I buy a 250 pack.

Cripes! I only get them on occasion (and only a dozen at a time), and I have to drive across town to get them, so they're a pretty occasional treat. Only when I'm over that way.

LOL Well most weeks my bug orders go like this in the summer/spring breeding season of my leos:

1000 2 week old crickets
1000 3 week old crickets
250-500 4 week old crickets
1000 mealworms
1000 kingworms

the odd time now will also be added here and there
250 Butterworms
50 Silkworms
250 Waxworms

PLUS I order bugs on occasion for another 5 other people LOL Yea I got in very large orders of buggies

but all my geckos/amphibians get a nice variety.
