A three tarantula photo (just to show)

[ShadowBlade]

Here's a photo I shot of my three Psalmopoeus, cambridgei, irminia, and pulcher Its the same time I took the pic of just the two of them together in my photo thread (which is much better I think).
I wish I got a better pic, but I suck at photography, I'll admit it. :?

(Yes, the pulcher is missing a leg, NO its not from getting this photo)

Cool, sun tigers looks awesome. They didn't try to kill each other?

 

[ShadowBlade]

Yeah, they would if I let them. But I set them up so they couldn't, until I shot the photos.
But that took an hour to do.. Psalmopoeus are so jumpy.

Hah tell me about, today i was cleaning out my irminia's vial. It crawled up my finger and seemed relax then jumped like 2ft down. Glad nothing happen to it. How did you get em to cooperate?

 

[ShadowBlade]

Ahh, just a whole lot of patience, and quite a bit of handling.

The irminia and cambridgei were the hardest, the pulcher
just walked on in easy.

what happens with me is I put my ornamental on the ground/white paper
cover it with a little cup-ish thing.\
make it stay on the ground. then soon it stretches and shows a nice pose .
then i took the pic and they don't run away\
btw it's an ornamental! do suntigers go stretchy like ornamentals do?

Hey, I think it's a great photo. As jumpy as psalmopoeus can be, getting three different species in a photo is pretty amazing.

 

[ShadowBlade]

do suntigers go stretchy like ornamentals do?

Yes, although I call it the 'poke pose' even Psalmopoeus will stretch their legs together like that. It makes them think they're 'hidden'.
But I wanted their legs spread out, so it looks better, but took longer.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.
