Water Dog/Tiger Salamander update 3-17-10

Just a quick progress update on my two little guys. They are starting to change a bit. I have noticed a change in their coloring from solid green to more splotchy and light green. I have also noticed their gills and tails getting smaller. They have names now too, Gator and Pooch.

How did you move them once they where nearly fully changed what set up did you use?

@Blinx56 When they were mostly changed I drained the water and pushed the sand to one side where half was water and half dry. (You can see a pic of it in my other video water dog to tiger salamander in six weeks). They started spending time more on the dry land after a day or two so I switched them to a regular set up and they have been fine since. Regular set up substrate is untreated soil and coconut fiber moistened and a water dish large enough for them to dip in and a hide or two.
