Last night, err morning. It was 2 in the morning and I wake up to the sound of what sounds like something crashing or falling, or trying to escape...I figured it was one of my gecko's but they were all chilling basically asleep...

So..I try to go back to bed...but this noise is really stinking loud...but I don't want to check on Watson because then he will beg for food. Well, sneakily I grab my little flash light and run over to his area, I look inside...and he is digging a huge hole under his water dish making a bunch of noise and spraying dirt all over the walls of his tub, and in his freshly changed water dish...Well he spins around and of course runs up to me wanting something to eat..*rolls eyes* Well, eventually I go back to sleep and resolve to take pictures of his tunnel when he's done.

So this morning I turn on the lights..and his water bowl is horribly dirty and now im afraid it's going to squish him..

His pattern still looks really bad, its actually kind of getting worse, I miss his pure yellow bars of color :(

But, at least he's having fun, haha. I also figured out through trial and error, if I bury his half log so it's really low to the ground he will go under it! lol I watch him a lot, but I have to act like a ninja..he's on a strict feeding schedule/diet because he is getting older..but yet, he still thinks any time I walk into the room is feeding time and he is literally leaping into the air and snapping at anything that moves...yesterday he attacked his fake plant when it touched him and was thrashing it back and forth...sometimes it makes me feel bad, then I reassure myself he's just being a pig.
 
Although I hae no experience with Tigers, I'd say if you worried about his water bowl squishing him, then remove it gently and relocate it in the log and see how it responds being in there.

Either way this is very cute!
 
or you could get rid of it all together, I dont use one in my tiger or blue-spotted enclosure
