Sounds like you have a healthy tiger there! From what I have read and experienced, the ideal temp for a tiger is in the 60's and low 70's, and as cool as 40 degrees. It is the higher temps that cause some concern. My tiger sally prefers crickets over all other foods, as yours appears to, but try to get him to eat earthworms and nightcrawlers, these are the most nutritious food for him. If I can't get mine to eat a worm, I coat a cricket with calcium/vitamin powder (available at pet stores) and feed that to him, and also gutload my crickets with special food (also available at pet stores), since they are lacking in certain vitamins, namely calcium.

Your tiger will need a water dish he can immerse himself in but that is not too deep, since he has lungs now instead of gills and can drown. Here is a photo of a cool setup from the caudata.org forum to check out, too:

Good luck, and report back!
