I think they look like dino's, prehistoric!!!!

Looks great! Very happy tigers!

The only thing I would comment on is that you should probably test the pH of the brown moss you are using. It looks like sphagnum, which has a reputation for being too acidic. Take a bit of it fresh from the package, soak it in distilled water overnight, and test the pH of the water. If it's strongly acidic, you might want to find another substrate.

Going along with what Jenn said, I recommend cocoa fiber. I mix mine with topsoil, about 1:3 fiber to topsoil. It kind of acts as a 'binder' for the dirt, holding together burrows better.

Under the spaghnum is allready coco fiber,they always dig in that stuff

I hope my outdoor enclosure will be ready soon!

So I can make it perfect for salamanders to breed.

I have bought 2 more young tigers last saturday.

So now I have five Tigers,
