    Wait... I am now more confused than ever... Are you saying that the camera used for these videos was a GoPro 3? Because, based on the DOF on many of these shots, I would swear that it was filmed with some DSLR + Macro lens combination. I have never thought of using my GoPro as a macro camera. Is...

    Absolutely stunning work! I am now inspired to do a little more than simple still macro shoots... What do you use for lighting when filming video? Especially in the Psychonaut video - the colors are amazing. Any good recommendations for learning the art of video color correction? That is...

    My rosie has a unibrow!

    So after her last molt, I noticed a spec around her eyes that I just assumed was a maybe a stuck shed of one of her eyes or something... It wasn't until I got a new camera with some macro capabilities that I was finally able to zoom in and get a good look... it turns out it's just her fluffy...

    Tarantula Psychology

    It is so true that personalities and circumstances are also a huge part of the handling equation. I have one 3" A. avic that is totally chill and moves like molasses. Yet, his/her brother/sister is a total spaz and usually ends up doing the marathon. I also have a 4" P. irminia that I have...

    Tarantula Psychology

    I know this topic has been discussed ad infinitum... however, I don't think there is enough research/history into the subject to suggest a definitive answer or understanding of T psychology. Basically, I think it comes down to... they are your pets. If you want to handle them, then handle them...

    Difficult ID - Found on St. John, USVI

    Interesting... so same genus Trinidad Olive... Any idea where to get more information? Thanks for helping out. P.S. Unfortunately, I did not take the picture - it was taken by a friend that lives on the island and is terrified of spiders.

    Difficult ID - Found on St. John, USVI

    Another ID request thread suggested Calisoga longitarsis, however this was found in the Caribbean, obviously not anywhere close to California or the US West Coast. Any ideas? Reported to be approx 2.5" - 3".

    Extermination questions?

    That is a good question... but my understanding is that, at least here in the south, the crawl space is usually treated as a precautionary measure at least once a year.

    Extermination questions?

    So I haven't had the exterminator come out to my house since starting my tarantula hobby about 18 months ago, but really feel the need need to get my termite service back up and running. My tarantulas (about 30 in total) are all in the same room on the 2nd floor, while the exterminator would...

    Anyone's T's come out at night regardless of if you have a light on?

    It seems the only time my OBTs are out is at night whenever the tarantula light is on... I have divided most of my Ts into ones that seem to like to bask, and ones that don't... The one's that seem to like to bask, will always migrate to the light and plaster their belly as close to the heat (or...

    Your most Agressive T.

    Going on 26 Ts - 2 adults, 6 juvies, and the rest slings - and have yet to experience a threat posture - well, other than one of my GBBs who was out one night for a little stroll and when it was time to go back home, decided to do that cute "stick your rump up in the air" thing while I was...

    Aggression in my Mexican Red Knee

    Really good point - but again I think it comes down to personality... If anyone pokes me while I am sleeping - good luck in waking me up. And when I finally do wake up, it would take me a good 30 min. and a cup of coffee to finally figure out what the hell is going on... On a related note, when...

    My first tarantula escape....had to be my OBT.

    Consider yourself lucky... not because you didn't get bit, but because you have Ts that will actually perform a threat display! I have 24 Ts in my primitive little collection - 2 of which are 2" OBTs, and I have never seen a threat display from any of my Ts... ever! blah! Well, unless you...

    Just placed my first T order... so excited!

    I have had one tiny little sling that refused crickets and cricket parts but absolutely devoured fruit flies until it molted and finally developed enough courage to tackle a pinhead cricket. So the fruit flies may not be a waste for the tiniest of your slings. Creative use of funnels and...

    Green Bottle Blue feeding

    My GBB is one of my favorite Ts to feed. If I am lucky enough to open the container without spooking it, I can drop the cricket in, and its almost like it knows what is about to happen. The speed, ferociousness, and pinpoint accuracy with which my GBB tackles the cricket is absolutely amazing to...
