Pterinochilus murinus
Well, first of all to clarify that the picture displayed is part of a series of 5 pictures in total. However, to get those 5 pictures, I had to make about 60 photographs, and be very patient along the near to 3 hours of work with this particular female. She´s not very patient so I had to make sure of several checkpoints:

1.- That there is nothing around that can cause an accident for me or for the spider, such as things that can fall off, or where the spider can stick itself and made impossible to get her out.

2.- All the set up needs to be assembled and prepared so you can minimize the time and amount of manipulation for the individual.

3.- You have to be prepared with all the instruments and tools needed for proper and secure manipulation (never use your hands!!!), such as plastic cups and containers, long sticks and brushes, etc.

4.- Finally to be aware that, if the girl is not in the mood (she is specially upset or restless), the photo shot will need to be cancelled.

And as a finall recomendation: Photo shots will need to be spared by several months for each spider, so you don´t overstress them. Also, never submit a spider to a photo shot if recently molted (I allow at least 10 to 15 days post molting before trying).
