Salaman spend most of her time above ground so I thought it was odd that she dug down! Later I realized that it was because she was shedding! She then proceeded to eat the shed skin, which at first I thought was dirt. She actually dug a window which I thought was cool, to be able to see into her den.

Aww she is adorable! I love the little window she made! That's so interesting, I didn't realize that tiger salamanders shed!
 
Yep! At least I think they do? Toothless shed when he was underwater, but I haven’t seen him really shed on land. It’s also possible that Salaman was just eating dirt

    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
