Advan's pic thread

[advan]

A. moderatum is a gorgeous spider, I'd say the colours are caught perfectly there Chad; very nice Aphonopelma sp.

She defiantly is! I am very jealous of Jen's spider, that's for sure!

Love that moderatum! Great pics!

Thanks! I am envious! Mine is a little smaller and has been under ground since last August. It came up without molting and ate last week. I don't know how you terrestrial people do it!

Great pics Chad! I'm so happy that the regalis pairing went well - I had to leave before they did their thing. I also really love the pic of the plumipes slings, so cute! And of course I enjoy the pictures of my spiders.

Thanks Jen! It was funny, Michael's female waited until she was done with her meal then she went right after him, tapping away! Fun to watch!

April's Poecilotheria regalis male was paired with Michael's female. Here's some crappy shots with before and after shots of her furrow.

I got more shots of her toes than of her!

Awesome pictures as usual, Chad. My little P. pulcher probably won't make it though *sniff*...we'll see.

Psalmopoeus irminia

 

[mcluskyisms]

Good luck with both your P. irminia, also I want that A. moderatum! Hah

 

[papilio]

Wow Chad, really awesome photos of the formosa!! Would you believe I never did get any decent photos of her? :?

I'm really glad you have her! Have you checked out her privates yet? Anastasia thought she'd be ready to breed after this last molt. If you can find a MM, I def wanna watch!!

Thanks Chris! I wish I was venturing across the pond for the BTS meetup! There's always next year!

Thanks Michael! Well, you had a chance tonight to get some shots of her! She will defiantly be ready for a boy after this next molt!


This boy is off to find some love.

Adult male Iridopelma sp. "recife"

Yeah, I maybe should have gotten some shots, but I thought your time was better spent showing Scott around. Next time for sure!

Thanks for your hospitality, had a fantastic time!! Was really great to meet Scott and his family too!


p.s. Did you take all those fantastic shots after we left?! (Boy, sure would be nice to be able to use my camera's autofocus!)

For sure! It was fun! Yeah, we'll have to do a real photo session soon! *anxiously waiting on the pics you shot tonight*

I had planned to house the Ephebopus with everyone here but time flies when your shootin' the spider breeze! You defiantly don't need to change anything with your photography, maybe post more of it.

Aphonopelma sp. "new river"

 

[advan]

Sub-adult female Poecilotheria metallica

 

[advan]

some more..........

 

[advan]

some foot shots.

 

[Shell]

Chad, you seem to have a foot fetish...

Seriously though, awesome new pics as usual (I forgot the donuts again, sorry).

 

[Storm76]

I really like the looks of P. metallica a lot - I'm just wondering what causes the color to darken that much on Levi's metallica's. IMO those look even more awesome with the black. But, alas I think E. pulcherimaklaasi are a very great looking terrestrial that are way underrated in the hobby, although they have that lovely coloration - I kinda compare them to P. metallica as a "terrestrial"

And, as you might already read from my thread, the replacement P. pulcher died yesterday, too....pretty sad experience there...3 T's in 4 Weeks dead...

 

[mcluskyisms]

Liking that little Aphonopelma sp. "New River"! I need some Apho's again!

Hehe, I know! Normally I'm all about eye cluster shots but I've been on a foot kick recently! I wish I had a camera to get some really nice claws shots! It's alright Shell you can skip the donuts and bring coffee next time!

I like them a lot too but there are a few Poeci's that are ahead of them in my book. My favorite part about them though is not the actual blue. It's the white and yellow!

I'm sorry to hear about that. It sounds like a few from your breeders sac just had some weaker genes. Don't give up on them yet Jan! I'm sure when you find some more, they'll grow up quick and you'll appreciate them that much more!

Thanks Chris! That little one just molted and got a new vial. It was it's third molt in two years with me and it's maybe .75"!



I have a pair of P. subfusca cohabbing and today I found the male had been sprayed! Poor guy, he's gotta be embarrassed!
