Insane pictures! I am looking forward to more!

I've had this guy for about a year or so and he's finally starting to get some size. I don't know what species it is and would like some input. Thanks in advance.

I thought it might be a Huntsman but I wasn't sure. Thanks guys. Some people were freaking out about that pic.

Mine too. I keep a S. subspinipes de haani as well and my room is always a toasty 85 degrees.

Note: This is not my photograph. I found it on another forum and needed to have you guys check this out and get a possible ID at least within the genus. Thank you in advance guys.

Thanks. The good thing about them is they are readily available in my backyard and in the summer I never actually have to hunt for them. Are the bites painful at all?

Does anyone have any experience with handling Argiope aurantia? Has anyone been bitten? I have three of them in my backyard and they are beautiful spiders. I've never handled them before but every time I see one I wish to pick it up. LOL.

Awesome. I went to the library today and the closest thing to something of this sort was a field guide to spiders, insects, etc. It doesn't focus on them, but it has some vibrant photos and general information.

No, that's okay. I was really focusing moreso on true spiders, but a book on tarantulas is fine by me as well. :)

Many thanks. And Amazon is my friend. http://www.amazon.com/Tarantula-Keepers-Guide-Stanley-Schultz/dp/0764100769 :)

As I am fairly new to this hobby, I tend to run into small enigmas and bits of misinformation that only serve to confuse me while I try to sort out the different genera and species. So I'm requesting some basic resources of any medium (book, website, dvd, etc.) to help educate me on the...

Sorry, I'm saving up for a new camera and will have one within this next week. I actually collected a much bigger P. audax right after I made my last post and let the other one free into my backyard.

Hello everyone. This thread has been quite informative. There is one question that I have though. Today, I went collecting in my backyard and happened upon was I thought was a geo. It is tan with off white colored diamonds going down its abdomen. I found it in the grass next to my shed. It...

That is an absolutely stunning millipede.

This is possibly the best quality of picture that I can take of him/her right now.

I've caught one tonight after much dismay. I had to chase it through the folds in my curtains for a good five minutes before I could eventually catch him (or her) in a plastic jar. My question is, how big should I expect my new friend to get? I ask this because I see a lot of people...
