Advan's pic thread

[advan]

I love the Avics! I didn't realize the Pterinochilus lugardi was so soooooo pretty!!! How big is the one in your photo? Do they remain that color as adults? Just wondering...

The P. lugardi might be a tad bigger than .5". I'm not sure what this one will look like when it's fully grown, as I have never seen an adult in person, only in photos.

Wow Chad, sooooper pictures here of the minatrix!! Seriously, just fantastic! Esp wonderful angle and perspective on that last ... I'd be very proud of that one!
And you captured the lugardi just superbly, look at all that sparkle!! I don't think many people have any idea how nice these Ts are!

Thanks Michael! The little minatrix is one of the spiders in my collection that will let you take pics all night as long as his mouth is full.

I need some Avicularia minatrix!!! Sweet shots sir!!!

Yes, you do(and some Tappy's)! Thanks Chris!

Awww the lugardi is looking GREAT! She's thriving with you. As always, great pics!

Thanks for sending me home with the little one!

suddenly I miss my minatrix...

Get another one! Trade some your hatchings for some!

As usual Chad, I love the new pics Can never get enough of your pic thread.

Thanks Shell! Come back anytime! Your always welcome but you have to bring donuts!

Very nice pictures all round here Chad, but I really like the ones of the A. avicularia and P. lugardi. The A. minatrix are fantastic Ts! Very realistic photos as usual, inspiring shots

Thanks Matt! I love the second pic of the A. avicularia sling!

Woo nice lugardi! It will have a beautiful colour once it matures .

Cheers!

Freshly molted Avicularia diversipes

 

[advan]

Some think these are unattractive. I beg to differ.

Adult male Psalmopoeus irminia

 

[Storm76]

Precious A. purpurea pictures! You just -had- to take some (pictures, that is) when I mentioned I got mine, right?

Love the diversipes shot, poor little one is a bit scared on the last

 

[Hendersoniana]

Always wanted a diversipes, beautiful Ts! As for the irminia, who can say they arent beautiful?

 

[Trogdora]

Love the irminia and his pipe cleaner legs. And those Avic slings are gorgeous. How big is your purpurea now?

 

[papilio]

hehe You make the purpurea look so big!!
I for one think your irminia photos are so stunning!! The colors you captured are just wonderful! I've never had one mature into a male. (Weird thing to be disappointed about. lol )

But your diversipes photos ... can't tell you how impressed I am with those!!! Really wonderful work Chad!!

The first shot was the scared pose, the last was a weird drinking pose.

They are awesome! I love all the color changes they go through!

Thanks Jen! I got a couple a little more than a year ago at .5" and the one above is now 1.75".

Avicularia metallica

 

[papilio]

My gosh, look at that ... the slings actually are metallic!!! Amazing!
Really superb photo Chad!! (K, you were just kidding about taking all these photos with that silly little camera, right?? )

Thanks! I wish I was kidding! I do what I can with a little point and shoot. I really do need a nice set-up though!

One more before bed.

 

[papilio]

Seriously Chad, that is one fantastic image, another one I'd be proud to call my own!

(And I'm sure you caught my implication that I'm very impressed with what your camera can do ... it's *much* better than the two $500 bridge cameras I went through before finally deciding I'd only be happy with a real DSLR.)

 

[Hendersoniana]

Metallica slings are really cute! So fat and stuff, beautiful photos as well!
