Got this beauty today :D
After all the positive feedback on the ID thread I had to get it :)
~16" and is currently in a long, shallow tank (4'x1'x1'). Will let it get bigger there and then get it a bigger tank.

Here are the first pics

in the bucket:




The tank rack, its in the middle of 3 tanks, the lowest tank (not shown) houses a 28" three-toed Amphuima Salamander.








All comments and good info welcome.

Is there any substrate better than the other for them?
Im thinking if i should keep the white sand or change to black.

And do they like to get out of the tank? the tank only has a glass lid and was wondering if i should put some weight on it.
 
yes...agiain...it's a stunner....and I would put some weight on the top...and make sure it has enough room to breath..
And I would change the sustrate to black...The dark colors make your WAL very special....So I would try to keep it dark (just my personal opinion)...do you think you can find out what part of Africa it came from? (via you LFS) maybe there is a connection between patern and location..I have seen one similar on a japanese website
love the patern...
 
very nice....
