User Almadabes - Picture thread

[Almadabes]

I don't keep any particularly interesting species (mostly NW) and all my photos are taken with a crappy android phone.
But I do like to share the pics I particularly like.

Many of these pics are older and the T's have grown since.
Only the larger specimens are about the same size as they are in the photos.

This isn't my full collection - just a few I could easily take photos of


H. Colombia large - "Pumpkin"


B. hamorii



E. uatuman




C. versicolor - no. 1 (enclosure is upside down in this pic)


C. versicolor - no. 2


D. pentaloris


L. parahybana - "Lola Montez" (She came with the skull - I kinda hate it, but it may have been her hide when she was smaller as she seems to gravitate towards it all the time. I included it in her new home along with a more appropriately sized cork hide.)



G. acteon



A. seemanni (I've since stopped putting in moss like this, they don't seem to like it - they bulldoze it into a corner)


B. hamorii

A. chalchodes

I can see them hating a thick hair moss. Awesome collection. A tip for shooting them with a phone IMHO, use a cheapo flashlight to hit them at an off angle so you don't catch the reflective glare of the phone flash.

I too take all my photos with either a cheap phone or tablet.
It's all about the lighting and perspective.
Sometimes it takes a few shots and the focus can be hit or miss but you can get some really good ones.
Nice pics.

Thanks, guys!

That flashlight trick is very helpful - I actually discovered and used it for the D. pentaloris shot. (still glared, as I need to angle it better - but in a more convenient spot)

My girlfriend got a nice DSLR camera for Christmas - just haven't gotten around to using it as we both need to learn how to use all the settings.
I only really snap pics when doing maintenance and only if they give me a good pose.

Hopin to get some practice on the bigger specimens but they're all currently being reclusive and I guess I'll have to wait till they molt. lol

 

[Almadabes]

Since their last molt!

H. Colombia (L) and C. cyaneopubescens

Both great eaters and webbers.

H. Colombia is probably one of my favorite species, just love their coloration.
