Eastern Tiger Salamander, Ranavirus, and other reptiles/amphibians

mine is probably at about 10-12" right now, speaking of which I need to measure, he grew a lot since we got him a couple month ago, eating like crazy, begging for food EVERY single time someone passes by

I finally got around to photographing Tigri again. (Super-creative name... huh?). Here are the new photos.

Beautiful creature you have there. I've been thinking about getting a new ETS friend also. Can you post some pics of the setup you have for them?

Thank you very much!! These were taken in a pop-up light tent with Tigri sitting on a piece of white laminated foam core board (I covered it in a thin coat of water first using a wet paper towel). I used two off-camera flashes, one on each side of the tent and the one on the right slightly elevated. I shoot with a Canon 50D and these were taken with the Canon EF100mm/f2.8 Macro lens. Don't get me starting rambling on about photography.... I'm equally obsessed with photography as I am with my critters. Though, these two subjects do go perfectly well together in my opinion...

Right now he still just has the basics. He's in a 20G with a sand/soil mixture, small pool and a hide. Nothing photo worthy. I will be setting up a much nicer home for him soon - I'll post pics then.

Lija -

Thank you for the size information - that gives me a more realistic idea of what to expect. He is eating really well and getting more rotund. I have not measured him again, but I don't believe he's increased in length, only in girth.
