No means an expert (I don't even supervise any tribes!) but here's my advice:
First things first, you should get your level up. That itself should be easy to do when you're actively engaging with the community and respecting the site etiquette. But more importantly, at sufficiently high levels, you'll be able to put a preset pattern for the tribe banner, and a few levels after you'll even get to upload a custom banner picture. Prettying the tribe up helps. Speaking of which you should also put a picture in the profile on the right too.
Secondly Snapzu encourages cross-posting quite a bit. So apart from posting content here, submit to other related tribes too. That can help draw in traffic.
Thirdly, you could organise threads to engage tribe members more closely. They could be discussion threads on related reptilian issues, like pet maintenance. They could also be showcase threads, where people post their individual content in the comments.
Wow thanks for the helpful reply! I have started to notice to level thing being a bit of a factor right now but with time it should be ok. I'm not much of an artist so I was hoping to get some user submitted content for making to tribe page prettier in general. I'll try to make something this weekend for now. Your other 2 suggestions are also great and I will keep in mind for sure, thanks again!
Well put, I'm thinking of starting my own tribe soon so if anything I will be sure to hit you up for some assistance! You seem extremely knowledgeable and kind (the 2nd thing is important).
