What do you use to make these vids? Celphone? If so how do you convert them from 3GP format?

AVOne 3GP Video Converter

No I use the video option of my camera ; Canon power shot a-410, but this camera is'nt good at all in video as we can see

i have found i need to flood the area with light from at least a couple lightbulbs or my camera has problems too.i think videos in daylight would work very well, but have never tried it

Hi everybady.

A lot of people seem's nervous about rehousing some "hot" species. Heres some video that show how simple it can be, of course, its not always that easy lol. Personally I simply dont let them do what they want, I try to control them as much as I can (without hurting them of course), just so that they get in mode "run away" and not "Maybe I've a chance to take him down )

Pterinochilus lugardi




Poecilotheria miranda

 

[CedrikG]

Sometimes its a bit harder of course
Poecilotheria fasciata

 

[CedrikG]

Ok, im not a big fan of this method but it can be usefull in rare occasion ...

Grabbing method

That last one was really great, it's amazing the change once it was out of its home.

 

[CedrikG]

Yes indeed!

sometime they will get calm and docile, but sometime they will also get in MARATHON mode, lol, but still there we can see a big difference in de defensive behavior.

Excelent videos, you make it look SOOO easy!(I wouldnt be that brave!)

BTW, if you want to get rid of that reddish colour cast get a 80A or 80B filter from a camera shop and either screw it onto the front of the lens or oif theres no thread you might be able to glue one onto a lens cap that has been butchered to give a ring rather than a cap!

One day, a male Pterinochilus murinus knocked to the door of a female Pterinochilus murinus, and love quickly explosed.

But as time was going he was spending more time and more time in the female house so ... of course she started to yell that he was never doing a thing and he should get a job and bla bla bla (you know how they are ...) so they divorced. He kicked her out of the burrow and changed the name of the house owner.

The poor female without house and protection for the cold night had to build a cocoon of web in the corner, like a dog.

Sometimes she look at him ... thinking to any way to eliminate him and who know if its not to dirty in there maybe get back in the burrow!...

Aaaaawww ... is'nt love a wonderfull thing ?



SORRY FOR THE HORRIBLE ENGLISH!

 

[Tegenaria]

Nice sequence, and nice story to tell the kids eh
Funny, inoticed that with this species at least, its the female wears the bright colours!

BTW, what is the meaning of your symbol under your name?
Looks like vertebrae!

I've been thinking to a logo for a long time that would represent what I am focussing on - The African theraphosidae of course - . I was really amazed of typical abdominal mark of some Pterinochilus - Stromatopelma - Ceratogyrus - etc ...
If you look you will recognize my logo in the abdomen mark. Its not exactly the same because I based myself on a Pterinochilus murinus, and still there I modified it a little its not exactly the same, but we can easily recognize it.
To me it also look like a spider , because there's 4 leg on each side with 2 big eye's lol. It also can look like the face of someone, with the 2 eye's well visible, and a beard (represented by the line)

Example;
Pterinochilus murinus

Very neat. I just realised it remins me of Anomalocaris, a prehistoric water creature:
