Hey Chad, I just noticed a few posts back that you finally learned how to spell 'definitely'. hehe :biggrin:

minatrix right?

Gorgeous E. olivacea!
I really need to avoid your photo thread, oh Master Enabler. My wish list keeps getting longer.... I was, however, able to remove I. mira from wish list today.

Thanks Joyce! Congrats on the I. mira! Now to just mark E. olivacea off that list!

Great pictures~! I am in LOVE with the Encyocratella olivacea.

Thanks Beth!

I'm so happy I got those E.o. slings, such a spectacular T. :biggrin:

Beautiful work on the exuvium and 'looking out' shots Chad!

Thanks Michael!

My gosh - those Encyocratella olivacea are soo stunning!

Thanks Jan she is! She has molted since, you should see her now!

Thanks Chris! Not to bad when you don't have to wrangle a live subject! hehe

Misspell it once and I'll never let it down.

minatrix right?

I'm not sure what you mean here? I do have some A. minatrix but none on this page. Thanks for looking!


Been a little bit, I'll start off with one of April's spiders and all of her recent eggsacs. She's been on a roll!

Megaphobema mesomelas

Notice the spikes/spines on the tarsal claw. I know other spiders like trapdoors have them but I don't recall seeing them on any of the theraphosids claws I have shot.

Tapinauchenius plumipes

a week later......

Poecilotheria ornata

Hapolopus sp. 'Colombia' Large/Gross

Congrats April on your excellent start to the year!


I pulled this one last weekend.

Heterothele villosella

and a size reference.

Thanks for looking!

Sheesh, guess who else is on a roll! What a great post Chad!! You've hit perfection with the two P. ornata hatchlings. Really like the shots of April's M. mesomelas too, the lighting is gorgeous! Must've been using your anatomical flash stand again.


Seriously impressive seeing the dime reference with the H. villosella sling, how many Raynoxes did you stack to get the close-up of that one? hehe

Excellent photos Chad!

Thanks Michael! No special lighting. The flash was mounted on the camera this time around. For the H. villosella, it's just one 250 Raynox and a little cropping.

Excellent photos Chad!

Thank you Chris!

Poecilotheria formosa

Ephebopus uatuman Double clutch!

 

[Protectyaaaneck]

Awesome work Chad and April! I love the shots of the villosella. Congrats on the formosa and uatuman sacs! Tearing it up this year!

Just found this one tonight!

Cyriocosmus elegans

 

[papilio]

Uhm ... I'm a bit slow sometimes ... that's the formosa from me with the new sac, yes? :biggrin: WTG Chad!!

Congrats on the C. elegans sac too!

... just curious, how many more potential sacs are you still waiting on? You're completely out of control!!

 

[Storm76]

No matter how often you deny it - you -ARE- a breeding machine, Chad! Good luck with those sacs

 

[web eviction]

Lots of good stuff man! How did the hapalopus pairing go?

LOL Jan! I'm just a hobbyist with some luck this year!

Very well! Your boy was a stud! These are all 1i's now!

[dactylus]

Beautiful photos Chad! I particularly love the mesomelas photos!! Such a gorgeous "hair kicker"!

Congrats on all of the new sacs!! I can see formosa, elegans and villosella in my future. I just need to master keeping those microscopic slings well hydrated!!

 

[mcluskyisms]

Good work sir, you're having a cracking year with both sacs and photos!

 

[advan]

There is a lot! April did a hell of a job with them!
