Crawltech`s picture thread

[aussiesk8]

Hey man, just read through this entire thread over the last couple of days in between bits of work and it was really nice to see the progression of some of your specimens as well as some of your ideas such as replacing the faunarium lids with perspex. Will have to give this a shot myself.

Great thread, great read

Did some re-housings today...first off was my oair of GBB juvies,....snapped a few pics of them during the transfers

#1

heres a few without the flash..

different angle

in her new set up...

wich btw are small kk's modded with a hinged lexan lid...heres one standing up next to my hand, for comparison...

I sometimes use them for juvie arboreals aswell....

GBB#2

he/she is a lil smaller,...1 molt behind i think.

into the new..

also set up a new enclosure for one of my juvie ornatas, who jus molted a week ago, or so...still needs to re-fatten up....Im pretty sure this ones male...

heres the new diggs

heres a pic of the transferee....

...who was being very co-operative wit the transferer(me)

he decided to pose up for me, rather than run..

these next few are no flash...

with the flash

in this case, the flash almost take color away, not really letting the natural-ness come through...but still looks great!

this one show his lowprofile....

in he goes....

next was a young H. mac....also very easy to deal with.

he/she decided to slightly bolt about three feet, then decided to stop on sone greens for a pose...

also very lowpro

didnt re-house this guy, but figured i would snap a few...his/her colors are coming in nicely!

B. smithi btw...too late i guess...lol

thats all i have for now...thanx for checkin in!

 

[crawltech]

heres some more photos!

P formosa....gettin comfy in her new diggs

G. actaeon.....she busted out a couple kicks shortly after her last molt, and ruined her fresh coat....bummer...oh well.

Pampho sp. machalla....large immature male....he jus keeps gettin bigger!

A. versicolor

G. pulchripes sac

Update on the G. rosea 1st instars,..they are doing great!...seperated them into 4 groups, and started them in the substrate filled enclosures.

heres some pics

heres a bigger 1i takin care of his lil bro, as they make the transfer to there new home

a the last few....

here they will stay for the next 40-45days or, until they are ready to go....these guys are slow growin

..and if im not mistaken, take an extra instar before they start feeding, and showing signs of independence....

heres another lil guy...

young P. ornata ventral shot....
