Then get one Staley. I think it's one that is a must in every collection.

Those are some amazing photos. I wanted to know how in the world do you get your E. uatuman and your P. irminia to come out for pictures ?

Thanks for looking at my pics. On the difficult T's to take pictures of, I try to move them into a generic container that has no hide or burrow to hide in. In an empty container, with just a little substrate, it is easier to keep them calm but they are unsure enough to move around and that gives me the opertunity for some descent pics. I call it my picture container and it seems to work pretty well. There are only a few I need that for so most don't even need it.

Thanks Carpetpython. I wish I could have gotten more pics of the elegans but it was not very photogenic. It just wouldn't stay still. Maybe I'll have better luck next time.

Ya, I have the same problem with mine I can't get a good shot of her, they move all the time.

Take care!

After finding out my smithi was a male, I decided to hit Botar up for a sling so I'm going to try my luck again. Without further adue, Here's the little new member to the family.

I also added a P. lugardi sling. This one is a little more feisty than my female lugardi.

Here is one of the newer species in the hobby. I don't know too much about this species so I'm going to learn as I go.

This juvinile would not move so I had to take pics around it. A little boreing but it worked.

Hope you like it.

Thrixopelma pruriens

























I have more slings to post but thats another day.
Hi!

Hi Alain. Thanks for the compliments. As for the Thrixopelma pruriens, I hope they get up to Canada soon too. They are so pretty in my opinion. I'm not 100% sure but I believe it's another Chilean species from South America. Maybe someone else who sees this and varify. Thanks.

Heres a new molt and it looks to be quite a change from where it was. It seems to have lost a lot of the blue but I'm not seeing any of the purple yet.

P. cancerides

Before



and Now.







These last two are with the flash on.

Well, it's been way too long so I'm going to quickly role through some pics in an atempt to catch up. First up are a couple of my pedes.

This is Scolopendra Subspinipes (Thia Giant) It's 7 inches and almost as big around as an average middle finger.

This one was a hard pic to get and I didn't want to bother it while it was eating.

Now for some T's.

First up is a subadult female A. geniculata that was part of Brian S's collection. Thanks Brian. She's awsome and suprisingly docile.

This one molted around a month ago and is looking pretty mean. Acts it too.

This one is around 3 1/4 inches in size. It's likes to play try and catch the finger with me so I have to be pretty careful around it.

C. fasciatum
