@ Regalis, My T count is somewhere in the low 80's, plus a handful of scorps and true spiders.

@ Natemass, Yup, I'm also in Massachusetts, up along the NH border.

@ To everyone who wants room/collection shots, I burned out my 500w photoflood and my little camera's flash just doesn't cut it for any distance so I'm not at all happy with the results of these shots, very grainy with not much detail. Doesn't look too bad at this size though, and I'm doing requests today, so...

Just did a bunch of rehousing and also had some new molts, both good excuses for more pic's. Took a couple hundred shots and I'm a little slow at picking through 'em and photobucketing but here's the start of a new batch.

@ Cedrik, most of my africans are small and/or tough to get to for pics. I don't like rousting them from there homes just for photo's so most pic's are either during rehousing or opportunistic. Got a single good shot of the darlingi and almost but not quite got a shot of my elusive Hysterocrates. The pterror is my one exception, always out, usually friendly and really easy to get nice shots.

P.murinus RCF 0.1.0

I really like your roach setups! I know there was a thread on how to make those a while back, do you have any specifics?

Edit: Never mind, I found the thread... cool stuff!

Very nice specimens! And nice detailed photos. What kind of camera are you using?

 

[billopelma]

What kind of camera are you using?

The more recent ones were taken with a pentax optio wpi.

Your pics are simply awesome, your T room is beautiful. Your P. fortis looks like a you just gave it a bubbe bath, the way its hair is all matted down!

Your collection is a wonder in an of it itself, it should be like the 8th wonder of world, or at least of Massachussetts.

 

[Ando55]

Amazing pictures! That OBT looking sad pic made me feel sad, it really looks sad...

 

[Natemass]

still taking awesome pics man where you getting all your ts from?

 

[billopelma]

When SCR was around, I got most of 'em there. I could go down there and hand pick from a bunch and Scott was pretty good for deals. It kind of spoiled me that I never had to rely much on mail order. I was lucky enough to attend the Kornwestheim expo last october, got a nice batch there.
My current dealer of choice is WadeW, where I got probably my last dozen or so. He's got the cool stuff and takes care of them like he's keeping them all. His plethora of bugs makes my collection look small and trivial.
