Ariel's picture thread

[Ariel]

just a few

P. regalis

T. gigas

B. smithi

and my newst addition (not a T)

African dwarf frog (I bought two, this one and one with a bum leg...the one with the bad leg already died...)

I missed the perfect picture oppertunity today Zeni (my OBT) was acctually out and about!!!! She never is! But unfortunately I was already 2 hours late for work (I totally forgot I volunteered to work for someone else) and had only gone into my room to quickly change into scrubs so I had no time to take any pics. When I got home she'd already gone back into hiding. :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

Also, check out my Zoo picture thread, I just finished posting the last of my pictures. Link is in my signature!

Ariel, great shots. and nice collection. when my male B. smithi matures maybe you could try your hand at breeding your girl. also wish i had those acrylc cages from adam...but id rather spend the money on more Ts....but awsome shot!

 

[Ariel]

Thank you. and ya, they're great cages, anc unfortunatley i'm not allowed to buy anymore Ts, so I might as well spend the money on awesome enclosures. I'm not really crafty enough to put together one of those lids like Robc, my last one shattered. So its worth it.

Sure, just let me know when he matures!

Awesome pics, as usual!!!! Now that they are all settled in, your T's are looking 110% great!!!

Thanks!!! They are looking awesome, and i love how they've each made their enclosure theirs, though I would like to know the point in taking ALL of the substrate from the bottom and attatching it to webs...

I did notice something though with my OBT, I dunno if it was a bad molt or regenerating a leg, but if you look at the first and third picture you can see one of her front legs is messed up. It seems smaller and doesn't have as much hair.

It's called "Camoflage," as opposed to "Going Commando," LOL All my arboreals do that. Although, my little LP is a mini wrecking-crew bulldozer. I gave it a nice setup, and the thing built a tunnel-network. After the molt, it has been busy making a BIGGER den, and integrating it into the network. It hasn't yet figured out the laws of physics, and is dealing with a couple of cave-ins. !!!!!

Yeah, it looks like she is regenerating a leg. Looks pretty spunky for a gimpy girl, though!!

I guess but they didn't have to use all of it, there are parts of their floor that don't have any substrate at all!!! Which is particularly annoying when I go to moisten the substrate and all the water gathers there!

HAHA. Poor little guy. My only burrowing T has only experianced one cave in and it was my fault. He had the greatest, well constructed, right up against the plastic, burrow and I ruined it. :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

That's what I figured. And she is quite spunky, she's not very mean though. I was expecting the worse, especially after all of her threats at the guy when I bought her, but I've only seen one threat from her and I provoked it. And she's not food aggressive at all, she takes it real gently which is the cutest thing ever! She probably would have shown me whos boss if I'd opened the door when she was right up against it in pics 1 & 2.

Getting a little chunky (B. vagans)

Honestly, what compares? Even if they are cheap and widly avalible. (Zeni, P. murinus)

I'm hiding! (P. cambridgei)

 

[Steve Calceatum]

You're right, not much compares to an OBT.....except maybe an ultra-spunky P. cambridgei, LOL!!!!

LOL, so true. I thought they were suppose to be the calmest of the psalms. ya, right!

If not the calmest, certainly the most fun!!!!! ;P

P. murinus (Zeni)

 

[VESPidA]

that obt is stunning!!! i can't wait til mine gets to be that color. your pics are really sweet

 

[Ariel]

Thank you! and isn't she! I can't wait for her to molt and fix that leg.

 

[Steve Calceatum]

Lucky you gets the OBT that's out all the time!!!!! It's good to see the Avic avic getting some camera attention, too. Too bad they're so common that few people seem to take time out to appreciate what is probably one of the best captive species available.

HA! She's hardly out, i just don't have a life so I'm always sitting in my room here on my computer so I catch her the few time she wanders out, and I keep my camera right next to her tank. I usually only get 1 or 2 pics before she bolts back into hiding.

I agree, they're not my favorite species, but I really do love them. The only reason he doesn't get alot of camera time is because he's usually not in a very good spot, and a good few times when he is, he moves before i can get my camera.
