[QUOTE="Enn49, post: 48879, member: 3458"] I got a surprise late last night, just as I was going to bed, [B]Tigger[/B], 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 [URL=http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF5293_1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF5293_1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] My next view of the whole of Tigger was when I rehoused it into an arboreal container on 21st Dec 2014 [URL=http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF7255_1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF7255_1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The beginnings of Tigger's new home by the 12th Jan 2015 [URL=http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF7640_2.jpg.html][IMG]http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF7640_2.jpg[/IMG][/URL] By March 10th 2015 that funnel web has been extended and Tigger sits in the entrance [URL=http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF8590_1.jpg.html][IMG]http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF8590_1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] The funnel web is extended even more by May 4th and it's getting more difficult to see Tigger [URL=http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF9733.jpg.html][IMG]http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF9733.jpg[/IMG][/URL] 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.
