Thanks. I have seen the dwarf sirens in pet store and they are nice but not the salamander look I like. Due to temps here will go with frogs and bumblebee toads will probably be it as day temps 78 during the week and night temps 72 in my house.

I already have the tank set up but have not made up my mind yet.

Basements are great but as you know none or close to none in this state.
