...got another new T:)

A couple of days ago I picked up a 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 inch H. lividum sling. It is hopefully the first of many haplos, so I'm pretty psyched. One question, though: How the heck am I supposed to get pics to post without digging the thing up? It has already made a pet hole of itself, as has my H. maculata sling. I see all these great pics you guys take, but I can't figure out how you get the T's out in the open...:wall:

You take the pics when you are rehousing or if you are lucky enough to catch it above ground.

Hey matt-

Haps are so beautiful you are lucky to get a peek once'n a while, every month, two? Seriously, they do show themselves only that often. I guess when you tell us you have a new blue, we all just thnk, Ahhhhh..... and REMEMBER what they look like!

congrats to you and to HRH

i take pix at night von...there normally never out till then...i feed them too so they come out somewhat when they feel the prey moving, congrats on the pickup..

Thanks for the input guys. I do find them out at night, but as soon as I approach the cage, let alone try to open it for a picture, they are gone like lightning down the burrow.:wall:

My female Lividum stays in her burrow almost 24/7. The only good pics I have of her is when I 1st introduced her to her new digs. She crawled around and posed a few times for me. Now, I do get to see her as her burrow is dug down in the front left corner of her k.keeper, but she is camera shy bigtime.
Even when I toss crickets to mine she stays put. Good luck on getting pics!
