Good advice!
I keep my 2 tiger salamanders in a large Rubbermaid setup (clear lid so I can see in, and much cheaper than an aquarium.) It's as wide as a 25-gallon tank, but not as tall, which is OK because sals never climb.
Mine spend most of their time buried in the forest bed substrate, but when they come out every few days, I feed them. You really have to watch the amount of food you give, as Cathy said. These sals can get quite fat, quickly. I only feed mine a half dozen of crix a week, but I do use the Reptivite calcium powder every few feedings. They are like little dogs jumping for food when fed. I feed them right out of my hand.
I agree with you about the stouffer's-container-waterdish! Lean Cuisine is yummy, and its container doubles as a useful water bowl!
