    Photos needed

    They would be for use in a book. Photos would be fully credited and a copy of the book when printed would be provided. You can take photos two ways, vertically or horizontally. I need a horizontal shot showing the animal from the side and a little from the top, like the example I have attached.

    Texas scorpions

    I recently found these scorpions in Wild Basin Wilderness Preserve in Austin, TX. Can anyone ID them? FYI I only photographed them; I did not remove them from their habitat. Thank you.

    Grammostola sp. maule egg sac

    When I went to feed everyone yesterday I found that my female Grammostola sp. maule had made an egg sac. I have never had a tarantula make an egg sac and am unsure of what to do. Any suggestions?
