I got a surprise late last night, just as I was going to bed, Tigger, my Malaysian Earth tiger was fully out of its tunnel web for the first time in ages so I tried to get a few pictures. Tigger is normally very quick to dart back into hiding, the slightest touch on the container and its gone. I realised that it was a year next week since Tigger came to me so I thought a year in the life of this amazing T would be a good idea.
This was Tigger on the day it arrived back on the 19th Aug 2014
My next view of the whole of Tigger was when I rehoused it into an arboreal container on 21st Dec 2014
The beginnings of Tigger's new home by the 12th Jan 2015
By March 10th 2015 that funnel web has been extended and Tigger sits in the entrance
The funnel web is extended even more by May 4th and it's getting more difficult to see Tigger
In the year Tigger has been with me it has moulted 4 times and grown more than I had realised until it's appearance last night. It is now a good 4'' dls. The container occupied by Tigger is now almost completely filled with webbing covered in substrate reaching right to the top.
