extremely nice pictures, impressive,....

and you can go out and catch those guys,..... lucky b*st*rd

 

[genious_gr]

Well, we cant do that as simply as that. Thet seem to be quite rare as I haven't seen any since i had that one.

Their hunting is REALLY impressive, thay wrap the pray in silk that is kinda sprayed on it. You have to see it.

Heh, I'm quoting myself!!

Well, I went out the otherday and found ZILLIONS of them. I only caught one thought so you lucky bstrds will get to see her hunting when I find sth interesting to feed her. I also made a vid of the hunting place but its a bit big (2MBs) so I'll only upload it if you guys politely ask for it

Okay, genious, will you please upload the vid so we can see?

Look at that! Someone finally got interested!! So, I have some probs with my connection but I promiss I'll upload it as soon as I can. (I'll probably have a hunting one as well)

 

[genious_gr]

So, I made the vid way smaller. Now its about 1,3Mb or something

Nice one, but I was expecting a hunting video.
PLs do create one and upload it.

My windows media player refuses to connect! Drat!!

 

[Nikos]

Paul try to right click on the link and choose save as...

This is the way I did it and it works.
Do not try to open it directly from the link.

Thanks, Vardoulas,

No luck still. Maybe my Media player is screwed up. Ah, well! Just won't connect!

Peace,

Paul
