Message: <blockquote data-quote="Enn49" data-source="post: 68307" data-attributes="member: 3458">I hadn't realised just how big this guy had got as he lived in his web and substrate tunnels and I only saw a few legs now and again until this last moult. So today I rehoused my Omothymus schioedtei (formerly Cyriopagopus schioedtei), Tigger, into a fish tank that was no longer in use. It's not the perfect home for him but at least he has more space and it's taller than his old container. Unfortunately some of the wet substrate from his old home followed him in so there is a bit of condensation on the sides. I have a new acrylic lid on order which will have loads of ventilation holes in to solve the problem, it should be here in a couple of days.<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF3124.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF3124.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>He sulked under the wood for a few hours.....<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF3111.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF3111.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>.... but then he came out to explore and I got to measure him, he's 6" dls now.<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF3119.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF3119.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Finally I got to see him in all his glory although he still has substrate on his butt.<a href="http://s265.photobucket.com/user/paulinewallace/media/DSCF3132.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii211/paulinewallace/DSCF3132.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></blockquote>
