Mine get a pretty varied diet on no specific schedule just making sure they look well fed. I feed crickets, mealworms, earthworms, rosy reds, guppies, an occasional turtle pellet, and try not to feed more than one pinky mouse per month. I was just curious to see what you all feed and how often...

Thanks,

steady diet includes: crickets, butterworms, wax worms, pheniox worms, nightcrawlers, red worms, silk worms, mealworms, and rosie reds.

treats fed every other or every third week include: goldfish, pinkie mice-hoppers, grasshoppers when ava., and tomato hornworms.

i hand feed mostly, every two-three days, through in a bunch of crickets once a week, and dig up anybody that is hiding when it is time for a treat or when i have not seen them for a week or two. the schedule is very flexible though.

I have one that's been in my posession for more than 10 years. I've fed it nothing but King Mealworms and nightcrawlers. Every two weeks I put some vitamin/calcium powder on part of a nightcrawler before feeding it to the salamander.

I have been feeding mostly superworms and nightcrawlers every couple days to at least once a week, and throw in a dozen crickets every couple weeks when I have a chance to get them at the pet shop, haven't tried rosies, but will now after seeing that mentioned. By the way Tim, that is a gorgeous tiger, it has a lot of yellow, is it a barred?

Yeah, that's a Texas Barred. I'd like some gigantic Easterns like the ones you have, but they're regulated where I live. They had a great selection at the pet store I went to in Las Vegas, and I had to have that "high yellow" one!

I still haven't been able to purchase live pinkies, the pet shop is always out. Sometimes one of my garters won't eat it's F/T pinkie that I leave in its cage overnight, so I just flush the pinkie in the morning, but perhaps I should try dangling it in front of the salys' and see if one of them takes it. They could be the clean up crew.

i don't know that i would feed a pinky that had been thawded and left out over night to the sals. they will eat anything, but the mouse will have started to decompose and will possibly make your sal sick. if you have frozen pinks you feed your snake, then you can do the same for the tiger. thaw in warm water and shake in front of your tiger and that is all it should take. you should alos pick up some calcium and multi-vitamin dust for the feeders as well.

ignore the firebelly pic, clicked on it on accident. here a pics of one of my smaller and mor robust tiger sals and their enclosure.

Good looking tiger salamander. I presume this is a diaboli. Looks like it is well fed too.

here is the other half or the tank.

Ok thanks, I will have to try a F/T pinkie. Your tigers are very different looking than mine, mine are black with yellow blotches and spots.
